Abstract
A gas turbine includes a housing in which combustion gas flows; a rotor section rotatably installed in the housing; and a turbine blade configured to rotate the rotor section by receiving a rotational force from the combustion gas and to be cooled by a cooling fluid flowing in a cooling path, the turbine blade including a tip side provided with tip cooling holes through which a portion of the cooling fluid in the cooling path is discharged from the turbine blade. The tip cooling holes include a first tip cooling hole formed in a pressure surface of the turbine blade, and a second tip cooling hole formed in a suction surface of the turbine blade. The gas turbine can easily maintain a gap between the tip side of the turbine blade and an inner circumferential surface of the housing, preventing degradation of the turbine blade efficiency.
