GAS TURBINE ENGINE AIRFOIL

An apparatus and method of cooling a tip of an airfoil for a gas turbine engine, includes a rib circumscribing the tip to define a tip plenum. A tip baffle partially divides the tip plenum, being spaced from the rib by a baffle slot. The rib includes a tip slot in fluid communication with the baffle...

Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method of cooling a tip of an airfoil for a gas turbine engine, includes a rib circumscribing the tip to define a tip plenum. A tip baffle partially divides the tip plenum, being spaced from the rib by a baffle slot. The rib includes a tip slot in fluid communication with the baffle slot to provide a flow of cooling fluid along the tip of the airfoil for exhausting out the tip slot.
