Abstract

See full text

A turbine airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes a pressure sidewall extending along a spanwise direction, and from a leading edge of the airfoil towards the trailing edge of the airfoil. The turbine airfoil additionally includes a suction sidewall also extending along the spanwise direction, and from the leading edge towards the trailing edge. The pressure sidewall and suction sidewall define a cooling air cavity therebetween, and one or both of the pressure sidewall and suction sidewall define a trailing edge cooling channel extending from the cooling air cavity substantially to the trailing edge. Additionally, one or both of the pressure sidewall and suction sidewall include a plurality of pressure drop members extending partially into the trailing edge cooling channel for reducing an amount of cooling air flowing therethrough from the cooling air cavity.
