1. A rotor blade comprising:
an airfoil having an airfoil shape, the airfoil shape having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in one of TABLE I and TABLE II, the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z being defined relative to a point data origin at a base of the airfoil, wherein the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z are non-dimensional values from 0% to 100% convertible to dimensional distances expressed in a unit of distance by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z by a scaling factor of the airfoil in the unit of distance; and wherein X and Y values, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each Z value, the airfoil profile sections at Z values being joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.
