Abstract

A stator vane for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil extending in a radial direction and supported by a platform having a gas flowpath surface. A cooling passage is arranged in the platform and includes a circumferential passage that is fluidly connected to an inlet passage extending through and edge of the platform, and film cooling holes extending from the gas flowpath surface to the circumferential passage, radial extending passage through the edge of the platform. A void is interconnected to at least one of the radially extending passage and the inlet passage.
