A method of forming a protective sheath for an aerofoil component includes: providing a first sheath portion and a second sheath portion, the first sheath portion and the second sheath portion each comprising an inner surface, an outer surface and an end surface between the inner and outer surfaces and having a sacrificial flange at its distal end; positioning the first sheath portion and second sheath portion so that the inner surface of the first sheath portion abuts against the inner surface of the second sheath portion with the end surfaces of the first and second sheath portions aligned to form a mating edge; and joining the first sheath portion to the second sheath portion by welding along the mating edge, wherein the sacrificial flanges are completely consumed and a curved outer profile is formed.

An airfoil for a turbine engine includes an array of features positioned in an interior portion of the airfoil. Each feature extends from a pressure side to a suction side. The array includes multiple radial rows (A-N) of features with the features in each row (A-N) being interspaced radially to define coolant passages therebetween. The radial rows (A-N) are spaced along a forward-to-aft direction toward an airfoil trailing edge. The coolant passages of the array are fluidically interconnected to lead a pressurized coolant toward the trailing edge via a serial impingement on to the rows of features. The coolant passages are geometrically configured to bias a coolant flow therethrough toward a first side in relation to a second side of the outer wall to effect a greater cooling of the first side than the second side.
