ABSTRACT:
A coolable airfoil is disclosed which includes an internal cavity, an external wall, a plurality of first apertures, and a plurality of second apertures. The external wall includes a suction-side portion and a pressure-side portion. The external wall portions extend chordwise between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and spanwise between an inner radial surface and an outer radial surface. The mean camber line of the airfoil passes through the leading edge and the trailing edge along a path equidistant between the outer surfaces of the pressure-side and suction-side walls. The first apertures, which are disposed in the external wall adjacent the trailing edge, extend a distance within the suction-side wall portion and exit the external wall through the pressure-side wall portion. The second apertures extend through the pressure-side wall portion and exit the pressure-side wall portion upstream of and in close proximity to the first apertures.
