Abstract: Airfoils for gas turbine engines are described. The airfoils include an airfoil body extending between a platform and a tip, the airfoil body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, and a suction side, a serpentine cavity formed within the airfoil body and having an up-pass serpentine cavity, a down-pass serpentine cavity, and a trailing edge cavity, and a dead-end tip flag cavity extending in a direction between the leading edge and the trailing edge, the dead-end tip flag cavity arrange between the serpentine cavity and the tip, wherein the dead-end tip flag cavity ends at a dead-end wall located at a position between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the airfoil body.

Abstract: Methods for forming airfoils, core assemblies, and airfoils for gas turbine engines are described. The methods include forming an airfoil body about a core assembly configured to define one or more internal cavities of the airfoil body, the core assembly comprising at least core structure having a purge slot protrusion extending from a portion of the core structure, removing the core assembly from the airfoil body to form one or more internal cavities, wherein at least one internal cavity has a cavity extension define by the purge slot protrusion, and forming a squealer pocket in a tip of the formed airfoil body, wherein a cavity purge slot is formed at the cavity extension to fluidly connect the respect internal cavity with the squealer pocket.

Abstract: Airfoils for a gas turbine engines and gas turbine engines are described. The airfoils include an airfoil body extending in a radial direction from a first end to a second end, and axially from a leading edge to a trailing edge. A radially extending leading edge channel is formed in the leading edge of the airfoil body, having first and second channel walls that join at a channel base. A first leading edge impingement cavity is located within the airfoil body proximate the leading edge and is defined, in part, by the first channel wall. A leading edge feed cavity is arranged aft of the first leading edge impingement cavity to supply air into the first leading edge impingement cavity. A first leading edge impingement hole is formed in the first channel wall and angled toward a portion of the second channel wall.

Abstract: Airfoils having a leading edge and a trailing edge, with a plurality of cavities therein including a leading edge hybrid cavity extending in a radial direction between a first end and a second end of the airfoil body along the leading edge. An airfoil side hybrid cavity is located toward the trailing edge relative to the leading edge hybrid cavity and positioned adjacent a side wall of the airfoil body. The airfoil side hybrid cavity extends in a radial direction between the first end and the second end and a divider rib extends radially between the first end and the second end along the side wall of the airfoil between the airfoil side hybrid cavity and the leading edge hybrid cavity. At least one first cross-over hole is formed within the divider rib to fluidly connect the airfoil side hybrid cavity to the leading edge hybrid cavity.

Abstract: An airfoil according to an example of the present disclosure includes an airfoil section that extends in a radial direction from a platform to a tip, and extends in a thickness direction between a pressure side and a suction side that meet together at both a leading edge and a trailing edge. A purge partition radially divides the airfoil section. A perimeter of the purge partition follows along external walls of the airfoil section. The tip defines a tip pocket that extends radially inwardly from the tip to a floor. The airfoil section includes at least one internal cooling circuit and a purge cavity opposed to the at least one internal cooling circuit along the purge partition, with the purge partition bounded by the floor. The purge partition defines a first set of apertures that fluidly couple the at least one internal cooling circuit and the purge partition. A method of cooling a gas turbine engine component is also disclosed.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine article includes a blade that has a platform, and airfoil, and a root. The platform has a gaspath side and a non-gaspath side. The airfoil extends radially from the gaspath side of the platform and defines a leading end and a trailing end. The root is configured to secure the blade. The root extends radially from the non-gaspath side of the platform and defines forward and aft axial faces. There is an inlet orifice in the forward axial face. A cooling passage extends from the inlet orifice, through the root, and into the platform.

Abstract: Airfoils for gas turbine engines are provided. The airfoils include an internal cold wall defining a leading edge feed cavity proximate a leading edge and an external hot wall defining a leading edge cavity between an external wall and an internal wall. The leading edge cavity includes an inlet portion and an outlet portion. At least one impingement hole is formed in the internal wall and fluidly connects the leading edge feed cavity to the inlet portion. At least one film cooling hole is formed in the external wall and fluidly connects the outlet portion to an exterior of the airfoil body. The impingement inlet portion has a first height defined as a distance between the external wall and the internal wall for a length of the impingement inlet portion, and the film outlet portion has a second height that is greater than the first height.
