Airfoil with shaped trailing edge pedestals

A blade (20) for a gas turbine engine (10) includes a trailing edge cooling chamber (30), wherein the pressure and suction sides (26,28) are connected by an array of spaced pedestals (32,34,36) . The pedestals (34) in a region most subject to thermal stresses are formed to be elliptical, such that t...

Zusammenfassung:A blade (20) for a gas turbine engine (10) includes a trailing edge cooling chamber (30), wherein the pressure and suction sides (26,28) are connected by an array of spaced pedestals (32,34,36) . The pedestals (34) in a region most subject to thermal stresses are formed to be elliptical, such that the thermal stresses are spread over a larger area. Thus, stress concentrations are reduced. Also, various sized cylindrical pedestals may be used at other locations.
