Abstract
A turbine blade for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of cooling holes positioned adjacent a tip of the turbine blade. The plurality of cooling holes are oriented at specific angles to produce film-cooling of the turbine blade tip to improve durability and performance of the turbine blade. Further, the plurality of cooling holes are positioned at specific locations to improve film-cooling of the turbine blade while reducing negative impacts on performance of the turbine blade.
