Abstract

An example method of manufacturing an airfoil (30) includes providing a ceramic core (64) corresponding to an interior cooling channel (42). A refractory metal core (66) is provided that corresponds to a cooling passage (46). The cores are arranged in a mold (60). An airfoil structure (30) is cast about the cores to provide a turbine engine airfoil. The turbine engine airfoil (30) includes a wall (44) providing the interior cooling channel (42) and an exterior airfoil surface (34). The cooling passage (46) is provided in the wall (44) and fluidly connects the interior cooling channel (42) to the exterior airfoil surface (34). The cooling passage (46) includes multiple inlets (48) and multiple outlets (50) respectively adjoining the interior cooling channel (42) and the exterior airfoil surface (34). At least one of a first inlet (48) and outlet (50) has a different structural flow characteristic than at least one of a second inlet and outlet (48,50).
