Abstract:
An exemplary section of a gas turbine engine according to this disclosure includes, among other things, a first array of airfoils including a first number of airfoils, and a second array of airfoils downstream of the first array of airfoils. The second array includes a second number of airfoils. The second number of airfoils is at least 1.19 times the first number of airfoils thereby providing a predetermined modal.
