Abstract

A stator for a gas turbine engine includes a stator vane, a first cooling passage located at the stator to provide a cooling fluid flow to a first portion of the stator, and a second cooling passage located at the stator to provide a cooling fluid flow to a second portion of the stator. A connection passage extends at least partially through the stator to connect a first cooling passage inlet of the first cooling passage to a second cooling passage inlet of the second cooling passage. The cooling fluid flow is directed from a common cooling flow source into the first cooling passage and the second cooling passage via the first cooling passage inlet.
