A coating portion includes a coating applied over at least a portion of the substrate portion.

A turbomachine rotor blade is formed of plural blade sections stacked along an axis extending from a blade root to a blade tip. Each blade section located at various heights along the blade is designed to have a given ratio between a maximum thickness, which is measured between a suction side and pressure side of the blade, and a chord, which is defined by a line connecting a leading edge and a trailing edge of the blade. Each blade section is further designed to have a ratio of the maximum thickness to the chord at a given height of the blade relative to a ratio of the maximum thickness to the chord of another blade section located at a different height of the blade.

An aircraft engine comprising a fan, the fan having a diameter D and including a plurality of fan blades, the fan blades having a sweep metric S, each fan blade having a leading edge, and a forward-most portion on the leading edge of each fan blade being in a first reference plane.

An airfoil includes pressure and suction sides that extend between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The airfoil has a camber line along an airfoil section that is equidistant between the exterior surface of the pressure and suction sides.
