Abstract

A gas turbine engine includes a first airflow structure and a second airflow structure disposed aft of the first airflow structure. The second airflow structure includes a leading edge region. A thickness of the leading edge region is based on a thickness of a wake in the airflow produced by the first airflow structure when the airflow passes between the first airflow structure and the second airflow structure.
