A gas turbine section of a gas turbine engine, including a first stage turbine disk, a forward outer seal carried on the turbine disk and a forward shaft cooperating with the first stage turbine disk for transmitting torque generated by the turbine section to a compressor section of the engine. The forward shaft intersects the first stage turbine disk at a non-perpendicular angle in the area of the disk hub for directing sufficient hot air against the disk hub to balance the thermal response rate of the disk hub to the thermal expansion rate of the forward outer seal. |
