Zusammenfassung:A coolable airfoil is provided which includes an internal cavity, an external wall, a plurality of first cooling apertures, and a plurality of second cooling apertures. The external wall includes a suction side portion and a pressure side portion. The wall portions extend chordwise between a leading edge and a trailing edge and spanwise between an inner radial surface and an outer radial surface. The first cooling apertures are disposed in the external wall adjacent the trailing edge, exiting the airfoil through the pressure side portion. The second cooling apertures are disposed in the external wall adjacent the trailing edge, exiting the airfoil through the suction side portion.
