The present invention generally relates to a gas turbine vane. More specifically, the present invention provides an innovative vane with improved flexibility leading to reduction of stress at the transition from a vane trailing edge to a vane platform, without interfering into the cooling scheme of such component. The present invention can increase flexibility of the vane platform by introducing, on the vane platform, a material cutback confined in the proximity of the trailing edge portion of a vane airfoil. |
