A gas turbine engine rotor blade includes an airfoil having a concave side wall and a convex side wall joined together at leading and trailing edges. Concave and convex tip walls extend from adjacent the leading edge along the respective concave and convex side walls to adjacent the trailing edge and are spaced apart to define a tip cavity therebetween. A hole or channel is disposed in a trailing edge tip region connecting the tip cavity to the trailing edge for channeling cooling fluid through the trailing edge tip region.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A turbine blade including an airfoil with a leading edge and a trailing edge, a pressure side wall and a suction side wall connected at the leading edge and the trailing edge, and a tip, said turbine blade comprising:an internal cavity within the airfoil for receiving cooling fluid;a tip cavity formed at the tip;said tip cavity comprising an open plenum including a tip cap recessed from the tip and surrounded by the pressure and the suction side walls,said tip cap being connected to said side walls along the periphery of said tip cap;a passage between the internal cavity and the tip cavity for providing cooling air to the tip cavity; anda means for cooling the tip of the airfoil at the trailing edge using cooling air from the tip cavity.
