Abstract
The present invention relates to a rotor blade (20) for arrangement in a gas duct (2) of a turbomachine (1), having a rotor blade airfoil (23), which, viewed in a tangential section, has a blade airfoil profile (24) with a leading edge radius RVK and a rotor blade airfoil thickness d, wherein the blade airfoil profile (24) is thickened, at least in sections, specifically the blade airfoil thickness d is specified, in relation to the front edge radius RVK, such that (2d/Rvk2)−d≤5.5.
