ABSTRACT:
A turbine vane attachment system configured to eliminate movement of a turbine vane relative to a turbine vane carrier. The turbine vane attachment system may include a base attached to a turbine airfoil. The base may be configured to contact a wedge support along a plane that is generally nonparallel and nonorthogonal with a longitudinal axis of the airfoil. A bolt may connect the base with the wedge support. The bolt may change a distance between a channel in the base and an outer bearing surface. The turbine vane may be positioned in a vane carrier such that tongues extending from the vane carrier are positioned in the channels. As the bolt is advanced, the wedge support is moved laterally along the support surface of the base and the channels engage the tongues, thereby preventing movement of the turbine vane.
