Abstract:
An airfoil for use with a gas turbine engine includes a pressure side wall. The airfoil further includes a suction side wall configured to be exposed to less pressure than the pressure side wall during operation of the gas turbine engine. The airfoil also includes a plurality of ribs defining multiple air passages including at least one triangular air passage partially defined by at least one of the pressure side wall or the suction side wall, and at least one internal air passage bordered on at least three sides by at least two of the plurality of ribs.
