Abstract

An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes a first wall disposed in an interior cavity, the first wall extending in the spanwise direction from a base region to a tip wall and adjoining a pressure side wall and a suction side wall to form a first cooling channel; a second wall disposed in the interior cavity and extending in a chordwise direction from the first wall toward a trailing edge, the second wall adjoining the pressure side wall and the suction side wall to form a second cooling channel; a first hole through the first wall, the first hole connecting the first cooling channel to the second cooling channel; and a second hole though the second wall connecting the second cooling channel to a third cooling channel.
