Abstract
A hollow, cooled airfoil has a pair of nested, coolant channels therein which carry separate coolant flows back and forth across the span of the airfoil in adjacent parallel paths. The coolant in both channels flows from a rearward to forward location within the airfoil allowing the coolant to be ejected from the airfoil near the leading edge through film coolant holes.
