Abstract
A stator vane capable of use in the high temperature environment of a gas turbine engine is disclosed. Various construction details implement vane cooling concepts which are designed to prolong the service life of the vane. An effective leading edge cooling system is built around the uniform flow of film cooling air over the exterior surface of the leading edge from a cavity within the airfoil section of the vane.
