Abstract

A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine has an airfoil including leading and trailing edges joined by spaced-apart pressure and suction sides to provide an exterior airfoil surface extending from a platform in a spanwise direction to a tip. 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 provided by an axial coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, a circumferential coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, and a span location.

Claims (24)

1. A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine, the turbine blade comprising:

an airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge joined by a pressure side and a suction side to provide an exterior airfoil surface extending from a platform in a spanwise direction to a tip; and

wherein the external airfoil surface is formed in conformance with multiple cross-section profiles of the airfoil described by a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in Table 1, the Cartesian coordinates provided by an axial coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, a circumferential coordinate scaled by the local axial chord, and a span location, wherein the local axial chord corresponds to a width of the airfoil between the leading edge and the trailing edge at the span location.

2. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the airfoil is a high pressure turbine blade.

3. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the airfoil is a first-stage high pressure turbine blade.

4. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the span location corresponds to a distance from a rotation axis of the airfoil.

5. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the Cartesian coordinates in Table 1 have a tolerance relative to the specified coordinates of ±0.050 inches (±1.27 mm).

6. The turbine blade according to claim 1 , wherein the Cartesian coordinates define points on a cold, uncoated airfoil surface at nominal restagger, in a plane at the span location.

7. A first-stage high pressure turbine blade comprising:

a platform; and

an airfoil extending in a spanwise direction from the platform to a tip, the airfoil having an external airfoil surface formed in conformance with multiple cross-section airfoil profiles described by a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in Table 1.

8. The first-stage high pressure turbine blade according to claim 7 , wherein the Cartesian coordinates in Table 1 have Cartesian coordinate values for a cold uncoated condition at nominal restagger.

9. The first-stage high pressure turbine blade according to claim 7 , wherein the Cartesian coordinates in Table 1 have a tolerance relative to the specified coordinates of ±0.050 inches (±1.27 mm).

10. A gas turbine engine comprising:

a high pressure turbine configured to drive a high pressure compressor;

wherein the high pressure turbine comprises a first stage array of turbine blades, wherein at least one of the turbine blades of the first stage array comprises an airfoil having leading and trailing edges joined by spaced-apart pressure and suction sides to provide an exterior airfoil surface extending from a platform in a span direction to a tip; and

wherein the external airfoil surface is formed in conformance with multiple cross-section profiles of the airfoil described by a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in Table 1, the Cartesian coordinates provided by an axial coordinate scaled by a local axial chord, a circumferential coordinate scaled by the local axial chord, and a span location, wherein the local axial chord corresponds to a width of the airfoil between the leading edge and the trailing edge at the span location.

11. The gas turbine engine according to claim 10 , wherein the span location corresponds to a distance from a rotation axis of the airfoil.
