How To Model Turbine Blade

Looking for some ideas on how to create the turbine blade shown. I was unsuccessful with two methods. First created a surface using a base line and guide lines and then thickened. Unable to narrow the leading edge into a point, to look like a knife edge. Second method was lofting technique. This attempt leads me to believe multiple profiles would have to be created in multiple planes to get the desired shape.

Loft is the way to go, one blade then circular pattern them.

Top and bottom profiles, with probably four rails.  2 for thickness, Le and Te. 

Each rail is required to be a separate curve, each must connect to all profiles.

 

Might help...
