First stage turbine nozzle
A turbine nozzle having an airfoil profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z set forth in Table 1, and within an envelope of approximately +/−0.049 inches, where the X and Y values are in inches and the Z values are non-dimensional values from 0 to 1 and convertible to Z distances in inches by multiplying the Z values by the height of the airfoil in inches. The X and Y values are distances which, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z. The profile sections at each distance Z are joined smoothly to one another to form the airfoil shape. The X and Y values may also be scaled as a function of a first constant and the Z values may be scaled as a function of a second constant.
