Abstract:
An airfoil includes an airfoil wall that defines a leading end, a trailing end, a first side wall, and a second side wall. A rib connects the first and second side walls of the airfoil wall. The rib includes first and second unbranched arms that initiate at the second side wall and extend there from to meet at a node. A third unbranched arm initiates at the first side wall. The third unbranched arm extends perpendicularly there from and connects at either the node, the first unbranched arm, or the unbranched second arm.
