ABSTRACT:
A turbine blade includes an airfoil and integral dovetail. The airfoil includes first and second sidewalls joined together at leading and trailing edges, and extending from a root to a tip plate. Twin ribs extend outwardly from the tip plate between the leading and trailing edges, and are spaced laterally apart to define an open-top tip channel therebetween. Each of the tip ribs has an airfoil profile for extracting energy from combustion gases flowable around the turbine blade.
