ABSTRACT:
A turbine engine variable stator vane includes a platform having a circumference adjoining opposing surfaces. A trunnion extends from one of the opposing surfaces. An airfoil is supported on the other of the opposing surfaces opposite the trunnion. The airfoil includes leading and trailing edges. An overhanging portion of the airfoil, which includes the trailing edge, extends beyond the circumference. A fillet joins the airfoil and the other opposing surface and extends along the other opposing surface in a lateral direction beyond the circumference toward the trailing edge. In one example, the fillet is provided about the entire perimeter of the airfoil. The airfoil includes pressure and suction sides. The circumference includes a relief cut extending from the suction side and adjoining a notch in the circumference to form an apex overlying the end surface.
