  • Patent number: 8998583
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine component providing a gas flow passage is provided, which gas flow passage surrounds an inner passage surface, an outer passage surface forming an outer delimitation of said gas flow passage. In an aspect, the trace of the inner passage surface in a cross-section perpendicular to a central axis of the component presents at least one substantially straight portion. In another aspect, where a plurality of circumferentially spaced blades extends between the inner and outer passage surfaces, two portions of the trace, in a cross-section perpendicular to a central axis of the component, of the outer passage surface between two adjacent blades are substantially straight and oriented in an angle in relation to each other so as to form a concavity in the gas flow passage.
