ENGINE AIRFOILS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING AIRFOIL FLUTTER

摘要

A method is provided for designing an airfoil. The method includes considering a baseline airfoil having a first camber distribution and a first aerodynamic efficiency; reducing the first camber distribution to result in a reduced camber airfoil with a second camber distribution and a second aerodynamic efficiency such that the second aerodynamic efficiency is approximately equal to the first aerodynamic efficiency; and producing the airfoil with the second camber distribution
