  • Patent number: 11879362
    Abstract: A turbine section of a gas turbine engine includes a case, a plurality of flow path components, and a mounting system. The case extends circumferentially at least partway around an axis of the gas turbine engine. The plurality of flow path components includes a flow path segment and a turbine vane. The mounting system couples the flow path segment to the case to support the flow path segment radially relative to the axis of the gas turbine engine.

  • Patent number: 11840936
    Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly includes a carrier assembly, a blade track segment, a retainer, and a clip shim. The carrier assembly is arranged circumferentially at least partway around an axis. The blade track segment is supported by the carrier assembly to locate the blade track segment radially outward of the axis and define a portion of a gas path of the turbine shroud assembly. The retainer extends into the carrier assembly and the blade track segment. The clip shim is located between the carrier assembly and the blade track and configured to urge the blade track segment axially toward the carrier assembly.
