A gas turbine engine having a blade assembly with a platform, an airfoil, and a shank. The airfoil has a plurality of cooling conduits, and the shank has a plurality of inlet passages to provide cooling fluid to the cooling conduits in the airfoil. The cooling fluid is vented through a plurality of cooling holes along the trailing edge of the airfoil. The blade assembly has specific geometries that improve durability.

Turbine engine with a blade assembly having cooling conduits

An airfoil assembly for a turbine engine that includes a platform, a dovetail, an airfoil. The airfoil assembly can further include a cooling air circuit that fluidly connects to a platform cooling passage. The cooling air circuit and platform cooling passage can be contained within or housed at least in part by the platform, the dovetail, or the airfoil. The cooling air circuit can also include a deflector.
