Zusammenfassung: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.
