Abstract
A turbine engine component includes a platform and one or more microcircuit cooling passages embedded within one or more walls of an airfoil portion of the component. Each microcircuit cooling passage terminates within the thickness of the platform so as to provide cooling to the initial 10% span of the airfoil portion. Each microcircuit cooling passage has an inlet for receiving cooling fluid, which inlet is also embedded within the platform.
