Abstract:
An airport having an exterior wall including a plurality of spaced layers for improved cooling and lifetime is disclosed. The airfoil and exterior wall are made by additive manufacturing. The exterior wall includes an exterior layer, an intermediate layer, and an interior layer each separated from adjacent layers by a plurality of standoff members; a plurality of first cooling chambers between the exterior and intermediate layers, the chambers partitioned by a first partitioning wall; a plurality of second cooling chambers between in the intermediate and interior layers, the chambers partitioned by a second partitioning wall; a thermal barrier coating on the exterior layer; a plurality of impingement openings in the intermediate layer and a second plurality of impingement openings in the interior layer; and a plurality of cooling passages in the exterior layer. The exterior layer may also include plateaus on an exterior face through which the cooling passages extend.
