    Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil wall that defines a leading end, a trailing end, and first and second sides that join the leading end and the trailing end. A rib connects the first and second sides of the airfoil wall. The rib defines a tube portion that circumscribes a rib passage, and first and second connector arms that solely join the tube portion to, respectively, the first and second sides of the airfoil wall.

    Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil wall that defines a leading end, a trailing end, and first and second sides joining the leading end and the trailing end. First and second ribs each connect the first and second sides of the airfoil wall. Each of the first and second ribs define a tube portion that circumscribes a rib passage and includes cooling apertures, and first and second connector arms that solely join the tube portion to, respectively, the first and second sides of the airfoil wall. The airfoil wall and the first and second ribs bound a cooling channel there between. The cooling apertures of the first and second ribs open at the cooling channel such that there is a cooling circuit in which the rib passages of the first and second ribs are fluidly connected through the cooling apertures and the cooling channel.

    Abstract: An airfoil include 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 a first arm by which the rib is solely connected to the first side wall, and second and third arms by which the rib is solely connected to the second side wall.

    Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil wall that defines a leading end, a trailing end, a pressure side, a suction side, and a mean line. First and second ribs each connect the pressure side and the suction side. Each of the first and second ribs define a tube portion that circumscribes a rib passage, and first and second connector arms that solely join the tube portion to, respectively, the pressure side and the suction side. The first rib, the second rib, and the airfoil wall bound a continuous cooling channel there between. The continuous cooling channel has a pressure side portion to the pressure side of the mean line and a suction side portion to the suction side of the mean line. The pressure side portion and the suction side portion each have a cross-sectioned shape selected from an L-shape, a T-shape, and an l-shape.

    Abstract: A blade for a gas turbine engine includes a body that includes an airfoil that extends in a radial direction from a 0% span position near an airfoil base to a 100% span position at an airfoil tip. The airfoil has a leading edge and a trailing edge that define the true chord length. The airfoil includes a first portion near the airfoil base with a first density and a second portion near the airfoil tip with a second density. The second density is less than the first density. The second portion includes an increasing true chord length in the radial direction. The second portion is in the range of 90% span to 100% span.

    Abstract: An airfoil for use with a gas turbine engine includes a pressure side wall and a suction side wall. The suction side wall is configured to be exposed to less pressure than the pressure side wall during operation of the gas turbine engine. The blade also includes a plurality of ribs forming a plurality of trapezoidal shaped cavities to receive a cooling airflow. The plurality of ribs being shaped in a way to allow for thermal growth of the airfoil, while minimizing stress in the airfoil.
