Abstract
A blade for a gas turbine, is provided and includes a blade airfoil which extends in a blade longitudinal direction and at the lower end merges into a shank which terminates in a blade root for fastening the blade on a blade carrier, particularly on a rotor disk. Devices for cooling the blade, which are supplied with a cooling medium, especially cooling air, via a feed hole arranged on the shank at the side, are arranged inside the blade airfoil. In the region of the feed hole provision is made for a planar stiffening element which reaches beyond the immediate region of the feed hole for reducing peaks of mechanical stress.
