Claim 13:
14. The airfoil of claim 13, wherein the airfoil is included within at least two airfoils with each airfoil of the at least two airfoils comprising:
an axial chord length (Cax) extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge in an axial direction with respect to the rotational axis;
a blade turning (BT) of less than 100 degrees along at least 30% of the span, wherein the blade turning (BT) is determined by:, BT
