ABSTRACT:
A stator assembly for a gas turbine engine is provided having novel means for securing it to the casing of the engine's compressor section. The stator assembly includes inner and outer shrouds secured, as by brazing, to a plurality of vanes and also includes a plurality of vane assemblies for clamping the shrouds and associated vanes to the casing of the compressor section. The vane of each vane assembly projects through but is not secured to the shrouds, the inner end of each vane of the vane assemblies having an integral plate engaging the interior of the inner shroud and means at its outer end for fastening the vane assembly to the casing by drawing the plate firmly into compression against the interior of the inner shroud. Since the vane assemblies are not secured to the shrouds, expansion of the casing during engine operation can be accommodated without imposing any destructive stresses on the shrouds, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the engine.
