Abstract
An airfoil component includes an airfoil body having a pressure side, a suction side, a trailing edge, and an airfoil mount. A collection plenum is defined in the airfoil body and is configured to collect coolant exiting from impingement openings in an impingement member therein. Cooling passages are defined in the airfoil body and in fluid communication with the collection plenum and extend to first film cooling opening(s) in part(s) of the airfoil body. A mount cooling plenum is defined, at least in part, in the airfoil mount and in fluid communication with the collection plenum. Second cooling openings are defined in the flow path facing surface of the airfoil mount downstream of the trailing edge and are in fluid communication with the mount cooling plenum. The second film cooling holes cool the airfoil mount and any platform coupled thereto. The airfoil component can be additively manufactured.
