Gas turbine component with platform cooling

Abstract:

A gas turbine engine component includes an airfoil that has a leading edge and extends from a first side of a platform that has a leading edge overhang. A root portion extends from a second side of the platform opposite the first side. A cooling passage extends through the platform and beneath a trailing edge of the airfoil. The cooling passage includes an inlet located on a second opposite side of the platform. The inlet is located axially upstream of the leading edge of the airfoil and the inlet is located axially upstream of the root portion in the leading edge overhang.
