Mistuned rotors and methods for manufacture

A rotor includes a plurality of airfoils and each airfoil has a span that extends from 0% at a root to 100% at a tip, a chord that extends from 0% at a leading edge to 100% at a trailing edge and a pressure side opposite a suction side. The pressure side of each airfoil has a pressure side surface s...

More Information
Summary:A rotor includes a plurality of airfoils and each airfoil has a span that extends from 0% at a root to 100% at a tip, a chord that extends from 0% at a leading edge to 100% at a trailing edge and a pressure side opposite a suction side. The pressure side of each airfoil has a pressure side surface shape and the suction side of each airfoil has a suction side surface shape based on an operating state of the rotor. Each airfoil has the same suction side surface shape between 10% and 90% of the chord and between 80% and 100% of the span at a first state. At least one first airfoil has a different suction side surface shape between 10% and 90% of the chord and between 80% and 100% of the span than at least one second airfoil at a static state of the rotor.
