Abstract

A turbine airfoil system for forming a turbine airfoil that is usable in a turbine engine. The airfoil may be formed from a porous material shaped into an outer airfoil shape. The porous material may include an inner central spar capable of supporting the turbine airfoil an outer porous region and an outer coating. The porous material facilitates efficient cooling of the turbine airfoil.
