Abstract:

An airfoil for a gas turbine engine can include an outer surface defining a pressure side and a suction side extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge and extending radially between a first end and a second end to define a span-wise direction, and a cooling circuit located within the airfoil. The cooling circuit can include a cooling air inlet passage, a radially extending supply passage, an upstream supply passage fluidly coupling the cooling air inlet passage and the supply passage, and a near wall cooling mesh extending along a portion of the outer surface.
