An airfoil for disposition and exposure to flow in a hot gas duct of a turbomachine is provided. The airfoil has a suction-side wall and a pressure-side wall with respect to its exposure to the flow in the gas duct, the side walls converging in an upstream end region toward a leading edge and converging in a downstream end region toward a trailing edge. The airfoil further has a cavity structure therein which is enclosed between an inner wall surface of the suction-side wall and an inner wall surface of the pressure-side wall when viewed in a cross-sectional plane axially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the turbomachine. When viewed in the cross-sectional plane, at least one of the inner wall surfaces, normalized to a mean camber line of the airfoil as a reference, extends with a change in curvature into at least one of the end regions in such a way that a clearance width of the cavity structure is increased at the at least one end region.

An airfoil for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first portion welded to a second portion along an interface such that at least the first portion establishes an airfoil section and the second portion establishes a root section mountable to a rotatable hub.
