Abstract

A gas turbine engine has a mid turbine frame disposed between turbine rotor assemblies. The mid turbine frame includes hollow airfoils radially extending through an annular gas path duct. The airfoils each include a double-walled leading edge structure to define a front chamber separated from a rear chamber defined in the remaining space within the airfoil.
