Abstract
An airfoil includes pressure and suction side walls that extend in a chord-wise direction between leading and trailing edges. The pressure and suction side walls extend in a radial direction to provide an exterior airfoil surface. A main-body core cooling passage is arranged between the pressure and suction walls in a thickness direction and extends radially toward a platform. A skin core cooling passage is arranged in one of the pressure and suction side walls to form a hot side wall and a cold side wall. The hot side wall defines a portion of the exterior airfoil surface and the cold side wall defines a portion of the core passage. The skin core cooling passage is divided by a wall into two discrete first and second skin core cooling passages each supplied with cooling fluid from opposing sides.
