A front centre body (FCB) structure for a geared turbofan engine comprises a plurality of vanes extending across the inlet duct to a low pressure compressor and integrates a heat exchanging arrangement to control the temperature of the gearbox of the turbofan engine.

A turbine rear structure for a gas turbine engine includes a central hub and a circumferential outer ring coaxial with the central hub. The turbine rear structure further includes a plurality of guide vanes extending radially between the central hub and the circumferential outer ring, and an intermediate guide vane located in a space defined between adjacent guide vanes. The intermediate guide vane is located closer to one of the guide vanes than the other guide vane.

A gas turbine engine component providing a gas flow passage is provided, which gas flow passage surrounds an inner passage surface, an outer passage surface forming an outer delimitation of said gas flow passage. In an aspect, the trace of the inner passage surface in a cross-section perpendicular to a central axis of the component presents at least one substantially straight portion. In another aspect, where a plurality of circumferentially spaced blades extends between the inner and outer passage surfaces, two portions of the trace, in a cross-section perpendicular to a central axis of the component, of the outer passage surface between two adjacent blades are substantially straight and oriented in an angle in relation to each other so as to form a concavity in the gas flow passage.
