Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes an array of airfoils. Each airfoil includes a first circumferentially extreme position. The first circumferentially extreme positions of the airfoils are circumferentially spaced apart from one another a pitch. Each airfoil includes a second circumferentially extreme position circumferentially spaced from the first circumferentially extreme position in an angular spacing that is at least one half the pitch.
