A turbine vane for a gas turbine engine having an outer wall of nonuniform thickness. The turbine vane may be formed from a generally elongated airfoil formed from an outer wall having a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, a suction side, a first endwall at a first end, a second endwall at a second end opposite the first end, and an internal cooling system positioned internally of the outer wall. The outer wall may be formed of a non-uniform thickness such that aspects of the outer wall positioned between an outboardmost portion of the outer wall and an inboardmost portion of the outer wall are thinner than the outboardmost and inboardmost portions of the outer wall.
