Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes an airfoil that has pressure and suction side walls that extend in a chord-wise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The pressure and suction side walls extend in a radial direction between a platform and a tip to provide an exterior airfoil surface. A cooling passage is arranged between the pressure and suction side walls and has a first passage along the pressure side wall and a second passage along the suction side wall. The first passage is configured to receive cooling air from a cooling air source. The second passage is configured to receive cooling air from the first passage near the tip. A platform passage is arranged in the platform and is configured to purge the cooling air from the second passage near the trailing edge.
