Abstract

See full text

A component for a gas turbine engine includes a matrix composite component having a radially outer end and a radially inner end. The ceramic matrix component having an internal chamber defined by an inner surface. A spar is received within the internal cavity, and spaced from an inner surface of the matrix component defining a chamber with the inner surface. Flow guides are formed on one of an outer surface of the spar and the inner surface of the matrix component. The flow guides direct airflow towards a portion of the inner surface. An air inlet chamber is formed at one radial end of the spar and an air outlet chamber formed at an opposed radial end of the spar. The air inlet chamber is defined such that air will flow into the internal chamber, outwardly of the spar, and inwardly of the inner surface of the matrix component. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
