An airfoil section of a blade for an open rotor includes: a pressure side and a suction side, the pressure side and the suction side intersecting at a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein a chord of the airfoil section is defined as a straight-line distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge; the airfoil section has a meanline defined midway between the pressure side and the suction side; and the meanline is shaped such that, in the presence of predetermined transonic or supersonic relative velocity conditions, maximum and minimum ideal Mach numbers on the suction side will lie within a 0.08 band, between 25% and 80% percent of the chord.
