Abstract
A gas turbine engine is disclosed in which a particularly efficient use of cooling air is made. In this engine, at least part of the cooling of the turbine blades is effected by a bleed of air from one of the compressors. This bleed air is ducted to flow between the shanks of adjacent rotor blades to cool them, and the used bleed air then rejoins the main gas flow of the engine upstream of the turbine rotor.
