ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine airfoil includes a serpentine cooling circuit with a branch cooling circuit disposed in parallel therewith for independently controlling discharge of cooling air therefrom through respective discharge holes in pressure and suction sides of the airfoil. Metering orifices are provided between the serpentine circuit and the branch circuit for controlling flow of cooling air into the branch circuit from the serpentine circuit, and therefore controlling discharge of the cooling air from the branch discharge holes relative to the serpentine discharge holes.
