This is a closeup view of the aspirated stator blades. Similar to the rotor in the first photograph, there are bleed slots on the convex surface of the blades extending from hub to tip, with small holes on the hub at the intersection of the blade and the hub. These holes begin about 1 inch from the front edge of the blade, and they continue to the back edge of the blade. About 1 inch back from the front edge of the blades, slots can be seen on the hub that extend from blade to blade.
