Abstract
An airfoil for a gas turbine engine, the airfoil includes a wall that has a leading edge and a trailing edge and at least partially defining a boundary of a leading edge cavity radially along the leading edge. A cooling jet structure is operatively associated with a portion of the wall proximate the leading edge and is configured to direct a cooling fluid tangent to the portion of the wall.
