Abstract
The strut is for use in a gas turbine engine has body, typically having an airfoil shape, having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The leading edge has at least one gas inlet in direct fluid communication with at least one outlet located in the trailing edge through which gas may be redirected from the leading edge to the trailing edge through the strut for injection back into a wake region downstream of the strut.
