Abstract: A gas turbine engine component includes a component body that defines an internal micro-channel that extends in a lengthwise direction along a reference line. The internal micro-channel extends between a first reference position along the reference line and a second reference position along the reference line. The internal micro-channel twists at least 180 with respect to the reference line between the first reference position and the second reference position.

Abstract: A turbine stage includes a row of airfoils joined to corresponding platforms to define flow passages therebetween. Each airfoil includes opposite pressure and suction sides and extends in chord between opposite leading and trailing edges. Each platform includes a crescentic ramp increasing in height from the leading and trailing edges toward the midchord of the airfoil along the pressure side thereof.

Abstract: A turbine stage includes a row of airfoils joined to corresponding platforms to define flow passages therebetween. Each airfoil includes opposite pressure and suction sides and extends in chord between opposite leading and trailing edges. Each platform has a scalloped flow surface including a bulge adjoining the pressure side adjacent the leading edge, and a bowl adjoining the suction side aft of the leading edge.
