ABSTRACT:
An exemplary vane for a radial turbine assembly includes a hub end and a shroud end that define vane height, a leading edge and a trailing edge that define vane length along a camberline and an inner surface and an outer surface that extend from the hub end to the shroud end and meet at the leading edge and the trailing edge and that define vane thickness wherein, for at least a portion of the vane, vane length and vane thickness vary with respect to vane height. Other exemplary vanes, assemblies, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
