US Patent 10947851 Local pressure side blade tip lean

A rotor blade of a gas turbine engine includes a pressure side, and a suction side opposite the pressure side and defining a rotor blade profile therebetween, the pressure side and the suction side each extending from a blade root to a blade tip. The rotor blade defines a cross-sectional median line midway between the pressure side and the suction side. The cross-sectional median line extends in a generally radial direction from the blade root to a lean point between the blade root and the blade tip. The cross-sectional median line extends off of radial from the lean point to the blade tip, defining a lean of the rotor blade between the lean point and the blade tip.
