Abstract
Cooling air manifold splash plates and gas turbine engine systems involving such splash plates are provided. In this regard, a representative cooling air manifold splash plates includes: a base having an aperture; and an air deflector supported by the base, the air deflector being positioned relative to the base to receive, from the aperture, a radial flow of gas turbine engine cooling air, the air deflector being operative to redirect at least some of the air received circumferentially.
