  • Publication number: 20180073370
    Abstract: A blade includes a root and an elongate portion extending to a tip, the elongate portion having an aerofoil-shaped cross-section. The aerofoil has leading and trailing edges, and suction and pressure sides. The tip includes a squealer defining a gutter at the tip, the squealer extending from the trailing edge along the entirety of a first of the suction and pressure sides, around the leading edge and partly along a second of the suction and pressure sides leaving a gap between the trailing edge and an end of the wall. A main trailing edge cooling channel extends within the elongate portion in a direction from root to tip adjacent the trailing edge and exits into the gutter. The main trailing edge cooling channel includes a bend just downstream of the exit, the exit displaced from a camber line of the blade elongated portion towards the second side.
