Abstract:
A gas turbine engine airfoil includes an airfoil structure including an exterior surface that is provided by an exterior wall that has a leading edge. A radially extending interior wall within the airfoil structure separates first and second radial cooling passages. The first cooling passage is arranged near the leading edge. A radially extending trench is in the leading edge. An impingement hole is provided in the interior wall and is configured to direct a cooling fluid from the second cooling passage to the first cooling passage and onto the exterior wall at the leading edge.
