Abstract
An airfoil includes a ceramic airfoil that defines a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, a suction side, a first radial end, and a second radial end. The ceramic airfoil section has an internal cavity and a rib that divides the internal cavity into a first radial passage and a second radial passage. The first radial passage is open at both the first radial end and the second radial end, and the second radial passage is open at least at the second radial end. A cooling passage circuit includes a first radial leg through the first radial passage, a second radial leg though the second radial passage, and a turn leg outside of the internal cavity at the second radial end. The turn leg connects the first radial leg and the second radial leg.
