    Abstract: Airfoils for gas turbine engines are provided. The airfoils include an airfoil body extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge in an axial direction, between a pressure side and a suction side in a circumferential direction, and between a root and a tip in a radial direction, a first transitioning leading edge cavity located proximate the leading edge proximate the root of the airfoil body and transitioning axially toward the trailing edge as the first transitioning leading edge cavity extends radially toward the tip, and a second transitioning leading edge cavity located aft of the first transitioning leading edge cavity proximate the root of the airfoil body and transitioning axially toward the leading edge as the second transitioning leading edge cavity extends radially toward the tip. The second transitioning leading edge cavity includes an impingement sub-cavity and a film sub-cavity along the leading edge and proximate the tip.

    Abstract: A rotor blade for a gas turbine engine is provided. The rotor blade having: an attachment; an airfoil extending from the attachment to a tip; and a tip shelf located in a surface of the tip proximate to a pressure side of the airfoil, wherein the tip shelf has a ledge portion extending from the pressure side to a wall portion extending upwardly from the ledge portion to the tip and wherein the wall portion is configured to have a convex portion with respect to the pressure side of the airfoil as it extends from a leading edge to a trailing edge of the airfoil.

    Abstract: An airfoil stage of a turbine engine includes an upstream airfoil assembly, a downstream airfoil assembly in rotational relationship to the upstream airfoil assembly and a rim seal assembly integrated therebetween. The rim seal assembly may include a sloped downstream portion of a platform of the upstream airfoil assembly, an upstream segment of a platform of the downstream airfoil assembly and a nub that projects radially outward from the upstream segment. The downstream portion and the upstream segment are spaced from one-another defining a cooling cavity therebetween for the flow of cooling air. The portion and segment overlap axially such that the nub is axially aligned to the downstream portion for improved cooling effectiveness and a reduction of core airflow into the cooling cavity.

    Abstract: Airfoils for gas turbine engines are provided. The airfoils include a body extending between leading and trailing edges in an axial direction, between pressure and suction sides in a circumferential direction, and between a root and tip in a radial direction. A first transitioning leading edge cavity is located adjacent one of the sides proximate the root of the body and transitions axially toward the leading edge as the first transitioning leading edge cavity extends radially toward the tip. A second transitioning leading edge cavity is adjacent the other side and adjacent the leading edge proximate the root of the body and transitions axially toward the trailing edge as the second transitioning leading edge cavity extends radially toward the tip. A portion of the second transitioning leading edge cavity shields a portion of the first transitioning leading edge cavity proximate the root of the body.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine component includes spaced apart walls that provide a cooling passage that extends in a first direction. A cross-over rib joins the walls and extends along the first direction. The cross-over rib has holes that extend in a second direction transverse to the first direction. A row of at least one pedestal joins the walls and extends along the first direction. The row and the cross-over rib overlap one another in the second direction.
