VANE ASSEMBLY FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE

A vane assembly (200) for a gas turbine engine (10). The vane assembly is a single unitary component that includes an aerofoil (202). The vane assembly further includes a leading edge passageway (230) disposed proximal to a leading edge (210) of the aerofoil and configured to receive a flow of a fluid (220) therein. The vane assembly further includes a connecting passageway (250) fluidly communicating the leading edge passageway with a trailing edge distribution passageway (240) that is spaced apart from the leading edge, the leading edge passageway (230) and a trailing edge (208) of the aerofoil. The vane assembly further includes a plurality of trailing edge passageways (260) disposed proximal to a pressure surface (212) of the aerofoil and extending from the trailing edge distribution passageway towards the trailing edge along a chordwise direction (C). Each of the plurality trailing edge passageways is configured to discharge the fluid through a corresponding passageway outlet (270) disposed on the pressure surface and in fluid communication with a corresponding trailing edge passageway.
