Abstract
An airfoil may comprise an airfoil body having a leading edge and a trailing edge. A heat pipe may be disposed within the airfoil. The heat pipe may include a vaporization section and a condensation section. The vaporization section may be disposed within the airfoil body and may be configured to remove heat from the trailing edge. The second cooling apparatus may be disposed within the airfoil body and may be configured to remove heat from the leading edge.
