Abstract
A gas turbine engine blade or vane comprises inner linked chambers. A chamber adjacent the leading edge is provided with an inlet for receiving cooling fluid and a chamber adjacent the trailing edge is provided with an outlet for exhausting cooling fluid. The chambers are arranged in series from the leading edge to the trailing edge so as to direct cooling fluid within the aerofoil blade or vane from the leading edge region to the trailing edge region.
