Abstract:
An airfoil includes a core structure that defines a cooling passage and first and second panels that are attached with the core structure. Each of the first and second panels includes an exterior gas path side, an opposed interior side, and a side edge. The side edge has a bearing portion that defines a bearing surface. The bearing surface of the first panel abuts the bearing surface of the second panel at a bearing interface. There are channels in the bearing portion of the first panel. Each of the channels has a first end that opens to the cooling passage and a second end that opens to the exterior gas path side at one of the side edges. Each of the channels is defined on a side by the bearing surface of the second panel.
