A gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine defines a radial direction. The engine includes: an airfoil positioned within an airflow and extending between a root end and a tip along the radial direction; and a mount coupled to or formed integrally with the root end of the airfoil for mounting the airfoil to the engine, the mount including an outer surface along the radial direction exposed to the airflow and defining an air-cooling channel extending between an inlet and an outlet, the inlet positioned on the outer surface of the mount.
