    Abstract: Ply layups and methods for forming composite components are provided. For example, a method for forming a composite component comprises laying up a plurality of composite plies to form a composite ply layup; partially processing the composite ply layup to form a green state layup; machining the green state layup; assembling the green state layup with one or more sub-assemblies; and processing the green state layup and the one or more sub-assemblies to form the composite component. In an exemplary embodiment, the composite component is a turbine nozzle airfoil. Another exemplary method comprises laying up a plurality of composite plies to form a composite ply layup; compacting the composite ply layup to form a green state layup; machining the green state layup; assembling the green state layup with one or more sub-assemblies; and processing the green state layup and the one or more sub-assemblies to form the composite component.

    Abstract: A component for a turbine engine comprises a wall having a first wall surface and a second wall surface; and a cooling hole comprising a connecting passage extending between an inlet at the first wall surface and an outlet located at the second wall surface. The connecting passage includes: a metering section extending from the inlet toward the outlet and defining a centerline, and a diffusing section at the outlet defining first and second side walls, a first junction between the first side wall and the metering section and a second junction between the second side wall the metering section, the first side wall extending between the first junction and the outlet, and the second side wall extending between the second junction and the outlet. A metering section distance is measured between the centerline and a metering section wall of the metering section.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method regarding an airfoil for a turbine engine, the airfoil comprising an outer wall defining an interior bound by a pressure side and a suction side extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge defining a chord-wise direction and extending radially between a root and a tip defining a span-wise direction. The airfoil further comprising at least one cooling passage extending radially within the interior and defining a primary cooling airflow; and at least one cooling hole having an inlet defining a first cross-sectional area, the inlet in communication with the cooling passage, an outlet defining a second cross-sectional area greater than the first cross-sectional area; wherein the primary cooling airflow enters the inlet in a first direction and exits the outlet in a second direction different than the first direction.
