Abstract:
An airfoil assembly for a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an annular shroud having a radially inner face and a radially outer face opposing the radially inner face, a radially inner array of airfoils extending from the radially inner face, and a radially outer array of airfoils extending from the radially outer face. The radially inner array of airfoils are configured to guide flow within a radially inner bypass flow passage, the radially inner bypass flow passage bypassing and being radially outward of a compressor section. At least one, but fewer than each, airfoil of the radially inner array of airfoils is circumferentially aligned with a corresponding airfoil in the radially outer array of airfoils, and the remaining airfoils in the radially inner array of airfoils are misaligned with the airfoils of the radially outer array of airfoils. A method of reducing a vibratory response of airfoils is also disclosed.
