Abstract:
A gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an airfoil having a tip wall that joins outer spanwise ends of a suction sidewall and a pressure sidewall and including a tip rib extending chordwise along a pressure side of said tip wall. The tip wall includes a tip shelf disposed at a junction between said pressure sidewall and said tip rib. A tip leakage control channel at an outer surface of said tip wall, wherein said tip leakage control channel is between first and second tip leakage control vanes contiguous with a suction side surface of said tip rib, said tip leakage control channel extending toward said trailing edge while extending toward said suction sidewall. An air seal is radially outward of said tip wall and positioned to minimize leakage at said tip wall.
