  • Connection assembly for a gas turbine engine
    Patent number: 12723523
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine including a connection assembly. The connection assembly includes a first component of the gas turbine engine defining a first flange. The first component has a first coefficient of thermal expansion. A second component of the gas turbine engine defines a second flange. The second component has a second coefficient of thermal expansion. An adapter includes an adapter body, a first rabbet, and a second rabbet. The adapter may be positioned between the first component and the second component. The adapter has a third coefficient of thermal expansion. The first coefficient of thermal expansion may be greater than the third coefficient of thermal expansion and the third coefficient of thermal expansion may be greater than the second coefficient of thermal expansion.
