Swept turbomachine blade
View Patent ↗A turbomachine blade including a plurality of blade sections stacked along a radial axis is disclosed. The projection of a line interconnecting the leading edges of the blade sections of the bottom stack onto a mid-plane presents a first longitudinal angle of inclination towards the leading edge that lies in the range 10° to 25°. The projection of a line interconnecting the leading edges of the blade sections of the intermediate stack presents a second longitudinal angle of inclination towards the trailing edge lying in the range 10° to 25°. The projection of a line interconnecting the leading edges of the blade sections of the top stack presents a third longitudinal angle of inclination towards the trailing edge lying in the range 20° to 50°. The bottom limit of the intermediate stack of the blade sections lies in the range 30% to 40% of the total radial height of the stack of blade sections.
