Abstract: An adapter to permit borescope access inside a gas turbine engine including a compressor stator having a plurality of compressor stator segments comprises a body portion defining a bore extending longitudinally therethrough from a first end to be disposed adjacent to outside surfaces of adjacent compressor stator segments to a second end to be disposed adjacent to inside surfaces of adjacent compressor stator segments. The bore permits a borescope to enter therethrough. The adapter further comprises an attachment portion for circumferentially coupling at least one compressor stator segment to an outer casing of the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: An anti-rotation lock for preventing circumferential movement of a stator segment in relation to a split case to which it is mounted is disclosed. A racetrack shaped pocket, disposed within the case and proximate the stator segment, is suitably sized to receive a lug and a spring pin. The lug is received in the pocket and protrudes radially inward from the case and is engagable by the stator segment, thus preventing circumferential movement with respect to the case. The spring pin is received adjacent to the lug and compressively retains the lug in the pocket.
