Abstract
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine includes pressure and suction walls spaced apart from one another and joined at leading and trailing edges to provide an airfoil that extends in a radial direction. The airfoil has a cooling passage arranged between the pressure and suction walls that extend toward a tip of the airfoil. The tip includes a pocket that separates the pressure and suction walls. Scarfed cooling holes fluidly connect the cooling passage to the pocket. The scarfed cooling holes include a portion that is recessed into a face of the suction wall and exposed to the pocket.
