Splitter apparatus for gas turbine engines are disclosed. An example splitter apparatus may include a splitter including an annular outer wall substantially defining a convex leading edge; an annular splitter support positioned radially within the outer and including a forward end disposed substantially against a splitter inner; and an annular first bulkhead spanning between the outer wall and the splitter support. The outer wall, the splitter support, and the first bulkhead may define a generally annular splitter plenum. The forward end of the splitter support may include spaced apart, radially oriented metering slots. The outer wall may include an inner portion disposed radially inward from the splitter inner surface extending aft and including spaced-apart exit slots. The splitter plenum, the metering slots, and the exit slots may conduct airflow from the plenum, through the metering slots against the splitter inner surface, and through the exit slots. |

1. A splitter apparatus for a gas turbine engine, comprising:
a splitter including a generally annular outer wall substantially defining a convex leading edge at a forward end thereof; a generally annular splitter support positioned radially within the outer wall, the splitter support comprising a forward end disposed substantially against a splitter inner surface of the outer wall; and a generally annular first bulkhead spanning between the outer wall and the splitter support, wherein the outer wall, the splitter support, and the first bulkhead collectively substantially define a generally annular splitter plenum; wherein the forward end of the splitter support comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart, generally radially oriented metering slots therein; wherein the outer wall comprises an inner portion disposed generally radially inward from the splitter inner surface and extending generally aft, the inner portion comprising a plurality of spaced-apart exit slots; and wherein the splitter plenum, the metering slots, and the exit slots are arranged to conduct airflow from the plenum, through the metering slots substantially against the splitter inner surface, and through the exit slots. |
