Abstract
An airfoil for a turbine engine includes an outer wall bounding an interior and defining a pressure side and a suction side, the outer wall extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge to define a chord-wise direction, and also extending radially between a root and a tip to define a span-wise direction. At least one cooling conduit can be formed in the interior of the airfoil, and a tip rail can project from the tip in the span-wise direction.
