Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3951188A1] An impeller (202) associated with a compressor (200) of a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of impeller blades (208). Each impeller blade of the plurality of impeller blades (208) has a leading edge (210) and a trailing edge (222) opposite the leading edge (210) in a streamwise direction. Each impeller blade of the plurality of impeller blades (208) extends in a spanwise direction from a hub at 0% span to a tip at 100% span, and each impeller blade of the plurality of impeller blades (208) has a plurality of mean camber lines (228) that each extend from the leading edge (210) to the trailing edge (222) at a respective spanwise location. The leading edge (210) includes a partially swept leading edge surface (239) defined between 70% span to 100% span that extends in the streamwise direction between 3% to 15% of a mean camber line (228) at 100% span.
