Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes a platform section and an airfoil section extending in a spanwise direction from the platform section to a tip portion establishing a tip. The airfoil section has an external wall defining pressure and suction sides extending in a chordwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and the pressure and suction sides are spaced apart in a thickness direction between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The tip portion includes a tip pocket and a tip shelf extending inwardly from the tip. The tip pocket and tip shelf are on opposite sides of a shelf wall.

Abstract: Disclosed is a turbine blade for a gas turbine engine having a plurality of cooling holes defined therein, the plurality of cooling holes being located in an airfoil of the turbine blade according to coordinates of Table 1, wherein the coordinates of Table 1 are distances from a point of origin O on the turbine blade, the point of origin being located at a center point of an inner diameter edge of a forward root face of a root of the turbine blade.

Abstract: An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes an airfoil section extending in a radial direction from a root section to a tip portion. The airfoil section has an external wall and an internal wall. The airfoil section establishes an internal cooling arrangement including a first cooling passage having a first section and a tip flag section. The tip flag section extends in the chordwise direction along the tip portion from the first section. The first section includes a plurality of branched paths established by at least one turning vane.

Abstract: A hollow airfoil body includes a baffle that is arranged in the airfoil body that extends in a radial direction and provides a fluid flow direction. The baffle has multiple holes that include first and second holes that are configured to conduct the cooling airflow in a chordwise direction toward the trailing edge of the airfoil body. The airfoil has a first standoff that extends from the airfoil body to support the baffle. The first axial standoff has a first length that defines an axial passage including the multiple holes. The airfoil includes a second standoff that has a second length less than the first length. The second standoff is arranged radially between the first and second holes. The first hole is smaller than the second hole. The second hole is downstream from the first hole relative to the fluid flow direction.
