<p>A shroudless, air cooled gas turbine blade has an internal structure including load-carrying members (36,38,40) that support the blade outer wall (10) and divide the blade interior into cooling passages (28,30,32,34). The dimensions of the structure in particular the load-carrying members (36,38,40) are chosen with respect to inward heat flow during operation to tend to reduce heat transfer from the outer wall (10) to the load-carrying members (36,38,40) and with respect to mass distribution in the structure to reduce centrifugal forces during operation.</p> |
