Abstract:
An internally cooled airfoil, such as a turbine blade, has an airfoil section extending between a tip and a root. The interior of the airfoil includes a distribution of lands at the trailing edge in the span direction. A width of each of the lands is a widest dimension in the span direction of the land in the interior of the airfoil. A pitch is a distance in the span direction between centerlines of two adjacent lands. The pitch is constant throughout the distribution of the lands. The distribution of the lands includes at least two different widths.
