Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil body including a leading edge and a trailing edge joined by a pressure side and a suction side spaced apart from the pressure side to provide an external airfoil surface extending in a radial direction from at least one platform. The external airfoil surface is formed in substantial conformance with multiple cross-sectional profiles of the airfoil described by a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in Table 1. The Cartesian coordinates are provided by an axial coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, a circumferential coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, and a span location. The local axial chord corresponds to a width of the airfoil between the leading edge and the trailing edge at the span location, and the Cartesian coordinates in Table 1 have a tolerance relative to the specified coordinates of up to ±0.050 inches (±1.27 mm).
