Abstract

A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine, the turbine blade having: 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 radial direction to a tip; and wherein the exterior 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 at least one of Tables 1-3, and wherein the set of Cartesian coordinates in Tables 1-3 are offset from a center point of an inner diameter edge of a forward root face of a root of the turbine blade by offsets of Table 4 to provide the exterior airfoil surface at a span location.

Claims (26)

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

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 radial direction to a tip; and

wherein a portion of the exterior airfoil surface is formed in conformance with a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in at least one of Tables 1-3, and wherein the set of Cartesian coordinates in Tables 1-3 are offset from a center point of an inner diameter edge of a forward root face of a root of the turbine blade by offsets of Table 4 to provide the portion of the exterior airfoil surface at a span location and the set of Cartesian coordinates in Tables 1-3 have a tolerance of ±0.020 inches.

2. The turbine blade of claim 1 , further comprising a root, wherein the platform, the root, and the airfoil are cast as a single part.

3. The turbine blade of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the exterior airfoil surface is formed in conformance with the set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in Tables 1 and 2.

4. The turbine blade of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of Tables 1-3 comprises Tables 1 and 3.

5. The turbine blade of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of Tables 1-3 comprises Tables 2 and 3.

6. The turbine blade of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of Tables 1-3 comprises Tables 1-3.

7. A turbine rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine, comprising:

a rotor disk;

a plurality of turbine blades secured to the rotor disk, each of the plurality of turbine blades having 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 radial direction to a tip; and

wherein a portion of the exterior airfoil surface is formed in conformance with a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in at least one of Tables 1-3, and wherein the set of Cartesian coordinates in Tables 1-3 are offset from a center point of an inner diameter edge of a forward root face of a root of the turbine blade by offsets of Table 4 to provide the portion of the exterior airfoil surface at a span location and the set of Cartesian coordinates in Tables 1-3 have a tolerance of ±0.020 inches.

8. The turbine rotor assembly of claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of turbine blades further comprise a root, wherein the platform, the root, and the airfoil are cast as a single part.

9. The turbine rotor assembly of claim 7 , wherein the at least one of Tables 1-3 comprises Tables 1-3.

10. A gas turbine engine comprising:

a compressor section;

a combustor fluidly connected to the compressor section;

a turbine section fluidly connected to the combustor, the turbine section comprising:

a high pressure turbine coupled to a high pressure compressor of the compressor section via a shaft;

a low pressure turbine; and

wherein the high pressure turbine includes a turbine rotor assembly comprising;

a rotor disk;

a plurality of turbine blades secured to the rotor disk, each of the plurality of turbine blades having 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 radial direction to a tip; and

wherein a portion of the exterior airfoil surface is formed in conformance with a set of Cartesian coordinates set forth in at least one of Tables 1-3 and wherein the set of Cartesian coordinates in Tables 1-3 are offset from a center point of an inner diameter edge of a forward root face of a root of the turbine blade by offsets of Table 4 to provide the portion of the exterior airfoil surface at a span location and the set of Cartesian coordinates in Tables 1-3 have a tolerance of ±0.020 inches.

11. The gas turbine engine of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of turbine blades further comprise a root, wherein the platform, the root, and the airfoil are cast as a single part.

12. The gas turbine engine of claim 10 , wherein the at least one of Tables 1-3 comprises Tables 1-3.
