An array of flow-directing elements for a compressor of a gas turbine including at least one first flow-directing element and at least one second flow-directing element different from the first flow-directing element; the flow-directing elements each having a leading edge facing the gas turbine inlet, a trailing edge, a pressure side connecting them and located ahead in the direction of rotation, a suction side located opposite thereof, as well as successive chords along a stacking axis; the flow-directing elements each extending between an airfoil root proximate to the rotor and an airfoil tip remote from the rotor. The trailing edge of the first flow-directing element is, at least in a portion thereof, axially offset from the trailing edge of the second flow-directing element in a direction toward the leading edge at least in a half proximate to the airfoil tip.
