Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for a gas turbine engine can include an airfoil having an interior. The interior can be separated into one or more cooling air channels extending in a span-wise direction. An accelerator insert can be placed in one or more cooling air channels to define a reduced cross-sectional area within the cooling air channel to accelerate an airflow passing through the cooling air channel.
