ABSTRACT:
A variable vane arm is disclosed having dual retention capability to ensure vanes of a gas turbine engine remain connected to the vane arm even under surge loads or when fastener preload, or the entire fastener, is lost. The variable vane arm further provides a surge slot to facilitate rotation of the vane even when the vane is operating under surge or otherwise excessively high pressure conditions.
