    Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil body that has a peripheral wall that defines an exterior side and an interior side that bounds an internal cavity in the airfoil body. The peripheral wall has first and second wall sections joined by a transition section. The first wall section is thicker than the second wall section. The transition section provides a change in thickness between the first wall section and the second wall section. The second wall section includes a cooling hole that has a first end that opens to the internal cavity at the interior side and a second end that opens to the exterior side.

    Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes pressure and suction side walls joined to one another at leading and trailing edges to provide an exterior airfoil surface. The pressure and suction side walls are spaced apart from one another in a thickness direction. A stagnation line is located near the leading edge. A cooling passage is provided between the pressure and suction side walls. The showerhead cooling holes are arranged at least one of adjacent to or on the stagnation line. At least one of the showerhead cooling holes has a metering hole fluidly connecting the cooling passage to a diffuser arranged at the exterior airfoil surface. At least one showerhead cooling hole is arranged on each of opposing sides of the stagnation line. Each showerhead cooling hole has the diffuser with a first diffuser angle that expands downstream in the thickness direction in opposing directions from one another when separated by the stagnation line.

    Abstract: An airfoil is provided. The airfoil may comprise a cross over, an impingement chamber in fluid communication with the cross over, and a first trip strip disposed on a first surface of the impingement chamber. A cooling system is also provided. The cooling system may comprise an impingement chamber, a first trip strip on a first surface of the impingement chamber, and a second trip strip on a second surface of the impingement chamber. An internally cooled engine part is further provided. The internally cooled part may comprise a cross over and an impingement chamber in fluid communication with the cross over. The cross over may be configured to direct air towards a first surface of the impingement chamber. A first trip strip may be disposed on the first surface of the impingement chamber.
