Abstract
A gas turbine engine component includes a hot side surface that is configured for exposure to a hot gas flow path, a second surface that is opposite the hot side surface and not exposed to the hot gas flow path, and an effusion cooling aperture positioned along the hot side surface. The effusion cooling aperture includes a recessed portion including a void area beginning at the hot side surface and extending inwardly therefrom, a forward surface, an entirety of which is angled at 90 degrees or greater than 90 degrees with respect to the hot side surface, defining a forward end of the recessed portion, an inward surface, angled with respect to the hot side surface, and connecting the forward surface to the hot side surface, and an overhang portion connected with the hot side surface and extending aftward from the forward surface and over the void area.
