Abstract
An airfoil component is described herein. The airfoil component may include an OD platform comprising a gaspath face and a non-gaspath face coupled together via a plurality of cooling holes. The airfoil component may include an airfoil extending in from the outer diameter platform. The plurality of cooling holes comprises a plurality of groups of cooling holes disposed in the outer diameter platform proximate a suction side of the airfoil and a pressure side of the airfoil.

An airfoil component comprising:
- an outer diameter platform comprising:
- a non-gaspath face;
- a gaspath face coupled to the non-gaspath face via a plurality of cooling holes;
- and
- an airfoil extending from the outer diameter platform, wherein the plurality of cooling holes comprise a plurality of groups of cooling holes disposed in the outer diameter platfortii proximate a suction side of the airfoil and a pressure side of the airfoil, wherein a plenum is formed adjacent to the non-gaspath face, wherein the plurality of cooling holes are coupled to the plenum;
- wherein a second group of the plurality of cooling holes is disposed in the outer diameter platform proximate the pressure side and near a leading edge of the airfoil,
- wherein the second group of the plurality of cooling holes has five cooling holes disposed within two rows.
