  • Endwall with leading-edge hump
    Patent number: 8105037
    Abstract: An example airfoil assembly includes a base having an airfoil projecting radially therefrom. The base extends laterally away from the airfoil. The airfoil extends axially from an airfoil leading edge portion to an airfoil trailing edge portion. The base has a humped area forward the airfoil leading edge portion.
