Abstract

A gas turbine engine includes a primary flowpath connecting a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. The turbine section includes a stage vane having a radially outward platform and a vane extending into the primary flowpath. The platform includes a cooling plenum. At least one retaining feature extends radially outward from the platform. At least one vectored cooling hole is disposed in the retaining feature and is configured to direct cooling air from the plenum to an adjacent gaspath component.
