Airfoil with CMC ply cutouts for cooling channels
An airfoil includes an airfoil wall that circumscribes a main cavity and defines radially inner and outer ends, leading and trailing edges, and pressure and suction sides. The airfoil wall includes a lay-up of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) plies that span the radially inner and outer ends and have an inner-most CMC ply bounding at least a portion of the main cavity, an exterior skin CMC ply, and intermediate CMC plies between the inner-most CMC ply and the exterior skin CMC ply. At least one of the intermediate CMC plies has cutout voids that define cooling channels in the airfoil wall. The cooling channels are bound on lateral sides by the at least one of the intermediate CMC plies, bound on an inner side by a first adjacent one of the CMC plies, and bound on an outer side by a second, different adjacent one of the CMC plies.
