Abstract
A gas turbine engine airfoil includes a body that provides an exterior airfoil surface that extends in a radial direction to a tip. The exterior surface has a leading edge in a forward direction and a trailing edge in an aft direction. The tip includes a squealer pocket that has a recess surface. A cooling passage is arranged in the body. Each of the cooling holes extends from an inlet at the cooling passage to an outlet at the recessed surface. The inlet and outlet are arranged at an angle in an angular direction relative to the recessed surface. The angular direction is toward at least one of the forward and aft directions.
