  • Turbine vane gusset
    Patent number: 10301951
    Abstract: A turbine vane for a gas turbine engine includes an outer platform including a first side spaced circumferentially apart from a second side, a forward end and an aft end. The first side includes a first gusset extending between the forward end and the aft end. The first gusset defines a first radius beginning at the forward end that transitions into an elliptical curve toward the aft end. An inner platform is also included. An airfoil extends between the outer platform and the inner platform. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
