Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes an engine static structure that has a fluid port. A turbine vane is supported relative to the engine static structure and includes a cooling passage. A flow splitter is provided between the engine static structure and the turbine vane. The flow splitter is configured to divide a flow upstream from the flow splitter into a first fluid flow provided to the fluid port and a second fluid flow provided to the cooling passage.
