  • Patent number: 10428832
    Abstract: A compressor assembly of a gas turbine engine includes a case including at least one opening and a stator assembly supported within the case. A lug assembly is secured to the case and sets a position of the stator assembly relative to the case. The lug assembly includes a lug engaging the stator assembly and a boss extending from the lug through the opening in the case. The boss including a threaded hole receiving a threaded member holding the lug assembly to the case and defines a seat for the threaded member that is spaced apart from an outer surface of the case.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8511983
    Abstract: A vane for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil portion, a platform, and a first flange. The airfoil portion has first and second ends spaced apart in a first direction, and the first end of the airfoil portion defines an unshrouded tip. The platform is integrally formed at the second end of the airfoil, and is configured to define a flowpath boundary segment. The first flange extends from the platform away from the airfoil portion. The first flange defines a first circumferential extension and an adjacent second circumferential extension, each defining forward and aft faces. The first and second circumferential extensions are offset in a second direction such that the forward face of the first circumferential extension is substantially aligned with the aft face of the second circumferential extension in the second direction.
