  • Air foil shape for a compressor blade
    Publication number: 20060073014
    Abstract: An article of manufacture having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in a table. The table selected from the group of tables consisting of TABLES 1S-16S, 1R-17R, and IGV. Wherein X and Y are distances in inches which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z in inches. The profile sections at the Z distances being joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.

  • Compressor stator floating tip shroud and related method
    Publication number: 20060045747
    Abstract: A stator blade segment for a compressor includes an inner ring segment and an outer ring segment and a plurality of stator blades extending radially between the inner and outer ring segments, the stator blade secured to the outer ring at a shank portion of the blade and loosely held in a slot in the inner ring segment at a tip portion of the blade, the slot formed to substantially match a cross-sectional profile of the tip portion of the blade but sized to create a clearance between the tip portion and the slot.
