I bought this for 25 Danish Kroner at the Denmark Flymuseum in Stauning, Denmark. It was marketed as a "turbine blade from a T-33,“ however I'm fairly certain this is a compressor blade stator due to the location of the worn leading edge relative to the root/tip geometry. Furthermore, as far as I am aware, the T-33 (aircraft) didn't have an engine that would have blades stators like this. Here's what I've observed:

* The blade is 9-ish inches long. I unfortunately don't have a ruler handy as I'm on vacation.

* The leading edge is worn down down to metal through its beige paint and gray primer

* It attaches to the rotor disk something via two staggered, axialy-aligned bolts

* It has a tip shroud

* The outside of the shroud features three numbers. From top to bottom:

- ö13

- 708548-811

- (crossed out and small) 708335819(?)

Due to its size I can guess its from one of the first stages of the compressir section. As to which engine, I'm not sure. The best I can guess for now is a Rolls Royce Avon, but I can't tell if any of its compressor blades have tip shrouds. Otherwise, it seems to be a match. Additionally, perhaps T-33 means something I'm not familiar with. I'm only an armchair aviation nerd, after all.

edit: it's a stator vane.

Or, I mean technically all is working as intended, it's just that the intended solution doesn't work with this design. I've cranked up the lift scale of the center wings to 8-ish as a workaround (not shown here).

No, the wing is not continuous; that's why this is happening. I could make it continuous but then the wing would intersect with the cockpit. Oh well...

Google Lens is being a bit indecisive. All I know for sure is it's some kind of long-horned beetle.
