Publication number: 20150345302Abstract: A transpiration-cooled article includes a body wall that has first and second opposed surfaces. The first surface is adjacent a passage that is configured to receive a pressurized cooling fluid. At least a portion of the body wall includes a nanocellular foam through which the pressurized cooling fluid from the passage can flow to the second surface. The article can be an airfoil that includes an airfoil body that has an internal passage and an outer gas-path surface. At least a portion of the airfoil body includes a nanocellular foam through which cooling fluid from the internal passage can flow to the gas-path surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2015Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventors: Michael J.
