Gas turbine blade

A blade (1) for a gas turbine, comprising:

• a leading edge and a trailing edge, which are connected by a pressure side and an intake side;
• wherein, in at least one segment of a stacking axis, the blade has a cross section with a profile with
• a common profile tangent at a leading edge region and at a trailing edge region,
• a leading edge tangent at the leading edge, which is perpendicular to the common profile tangent, the leading edge tangent having a contact point on the profile and resting on the profile in a flow direction;
• a leading edge circle having the contact point of the leading edge tangent in common, the leading edge circle having a center point that lies at a point of intersection of a normal line at the contact point of the leading edge tangent on the profile with a profile center line that extends through the profile at an equal distance from the pressure side and the intake side and includes this contact point;
• a trailing edge tangent at the trailing edge, which is perpendicular to the common profile tangent, the trailing edge tangent having a contact point on the profile and resting on the profile opposite to the flow direction;
• a trailing edge circle having the contact point of the trailing edge tangent in common and having a center point that lies at a point of intersection of a normal line at the contact point of the trailing edge tangent on the profile with said profile center line and includes this contact point of the trailing edge tangent;
• and
• a camber line, which extends, at an equal distance from the pressure side and the intake side, from the center point of the leading edge circle, up to the center point of the trailing edge circle;
• wherein the leading edge tangent is parallel to the trailing edge tangent;
• wherein the blade thickness between the pressure side and the intake side increases, extending from a trailing edge thickness at the center point of the trailing edge circle in a camber line segment, the length of which is at least 15% and at most 25% of a length of the camber line between the center point of the leading edge circle and the center point of the trailing edge circle, toward the center point of the leading edge circle, increasing to at least two times the trailing edge thickness.
