  • Ceramic matrix composite vane with added platform
    Patent number: 11261747
    Abstract: A turbine vane assembly adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes an aerofoil configured to interact with gases flowing through the gas turbine engine along a gas path, an outer platform that defines an outer boundary of a gas path, and an inner platform that defines an inner boundary of the gas path.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2022
    Inventors: Emma C. Steedman, Michael J. Whittle, Edward M. Jones, James C. Smith
  • Ceramic matrix composite aerofoil with impact reinforcements
    Patent number: 11060409
    Abstract: A turbine blade of ceramic matrix composite material construction adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil assembly. The airfoil assembly includes an airfoil and at least one reinforcement inset coupled to the airfoil assembly. The reinforcement inset is configured to resist damage to the airfoil assembly due to objects impacting the airfoil assembly.

  • Ceramic matrix composite vane with trailing edge radial cooling
    Patent number: 10883371
    Abstract: A component adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes an aerofoil configured to interact with gases flowing through the gas turbine engine along a gas path. The aerofoil is formed to include a first passage that extends radially at least partway into the aerofoil and a second passage that extends radially into the aerofoil at a trailing edge of the aerofoil.
