Abstract

Airfoils for gas turbine engines are described. The airfoils include an airfoil body extending between a platform and a tip, the airfoil body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, and a suction side, a serpentine cavity formed within the airfoil body and having an up-pass serpentine cavity, a down-pass serpentine cavity, and a trailing edge cavity, and a dead-end tip flag cavity extending in a direction between the leading edge and the trailing edge, the dead-end tip flag cavity arrange between the serpentine cavity and the tip, wherein the dead-end tip flag cavity ends at a dead-end wall located at a position between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the airfoil body.
