Abstract
A gas turbine engine article includes an article wall that defines leading and trailing ends and first and second sides that join the leading and trailing ends. The article wall defines a cavity. A cooling passage network is embedded in the article wall between inner and outer portions of the article wall. The network has an inlet orifice through the inner portion to receive cooling air from the cavity, a plurality of sub-passages, at least one outlet orifice that is connected to the sub-passage region, and a manifold region that has a plenum upstream of the sub-passages. The outer portion of the article wall has a sloped impingement surface located opposite the inlet orifice. The sloped impingement surface is angled to divert flow of cooling air from the inlet orifice toward the plenum.
