Abstract
A ceramic matrix composite component and method of fabrication including a plurality of longitudinally extending ceramic matrix composite plies in a stacked configuration forming a densified body and one or more elongate functional features formed therein and in alignment with the plurality of longitudinally extending ceramic matrix composite plies. Each of the elongate functional features includes an inlet configured to be in fluid communication with a flow of cooling fluid from a fluid source. One or more bores cut through the plurality of ceramic matrix composite plies from at least one of the one or more elongate functional features to an outlet proximate to an outer surface of the ceramic matrix composite component. One or more film cooling throughholes cut through the ceramic matrix composite plies from an inner surface of the ceramic matrix composite component to an outlet proximate to the outer surface of the ceramic matrix composite component.
