Abstract: According to one aspect, an apparatus includes a first member that has a first aperture and a second member adjacent to the first member and having a second aperture extending between opposed first and second faces of the second member and aligned with the first aperture to define a combined aperture that has a longitudinal extent. The second aperture is defined by a surface that has a portion having an extent transverse to the longitudinal extent. The apparatus further includes at least a portion of a fastener disposed in the combined aperture. The fastener has a first end proximal the first member and a second end proximal the second member and includes a first retaining member in contact with the first member, a second retaining member in interfering relationship with the portion, and a third retaining member in contact with the second face.

Abstract: An aggregate vane assembly includes a core vane assembly encircling a central longitudinal axis and having a plurality of core vanes each extending radially between an inner hub and an outer band. The aggregate vane assembly also includes a bypass vane assembly disposed on a radially opposite side of the outer band relative to the plurality of core vanes. The aggregate vane assembly also includes a splitter ring positioned proximate to the first forward end. The aggregate vane assembly also includes at least one retention plate overlapping a forward end of the at least one bypass vane along the central longitudinal axis and also overlapping at least a portion of the splitter ring along the central longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An aggregate vane assembly is disclosed herein. The aggregate vane assembly includes a core vane assembly encircling a central longitudinal axis and having a plurality of core vanes each extending radially between an inner hub and an outer band. The core vane assembly extends along the central longitudinal axis between a first forward end and a first aft end. The aggregate vane assembly also includes a bypass vane assembly disposed on a radially opposite side of the outer band relative to the plurality of core vanes. The bypass vane assembly includes at least one bypass vane extending radially outward from a platform. The bypass vane assembly extends along the central longitudinal axis between a second forward end and a second aft end. The aggregate vane assembly also includes a splitter ring positioned proximate to the first forward end.
