  • Patent number: 10865650
    Abstract: A stator vane support with anti-rotation features is provided. The stator vane support may comprise an inner diameter surface opposite an outer diameter surface. The stator vane support may comprise an anti-rotation lug defining a protrusion extending inward from the inner diameter surface. The stator vane support may have a first recess defining a first void on the inner diameter surface proximate a first surface of the anti-rotation lug. The stator vane support may have a second recess defining a second void on the inner diameter surface proximate a second surface of the anti-rotation lug. The anti-rotation lug may be configured to interface with a stator vane to at least partially limit circumferential movement, and each recess may be configured to allow the stator vane to thermally expand during gas turbine engine operation.

  • Patent number: 10808558
    Abstract: A heat shield vane support may have a structure including at least one of a cylindrical and a frustoconical portion with an outboard diameter and an inboard diameter extending about an axis and extending axially between a forward face and an aft face and may comprise a flange extending circumferentially about the aft face radially inward from the inboard diameter, a plurality of anti-rotation features distributed circumferentially about the inboard diameter extending radially inward from the inboard diameter and extending axially with respect to the cylindrical structure between a forward edge and an aft edge defining a length L, and a plurality of teeth distributed circumferentially about the forward face and extending axially from the forward face.
