Patent ID: 10907479

Abstract:
Airfoils for gas turbine engines are provided. The airfoils include an airfoil body extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge in an axial direction, between a pressure side and a suction side in a circumferential direction, and between a root and a tip in a radial direction, a first transitioning leading edge cavity located proximate the leading edge proximate the root of the airfoil body and transitioning axially toward the trailing edge as the first transitioning leading edge cavity extends radially toward the tip, and a second transitioning leading edge cavity located aft of the first transitioning leading edge cavity proximate the root of the airfoil body and transitioning axially toward the leading edge as the second transitioning leading edge cavity extends radially toward the tip. The second transitioning leading edge cavity includes an impingement sub-cavity and a film sub-cavity along the leading edge and proximate the tip.
