A turbine vane assembly includes a plurality of turbine vanes, an outer vane support, and an inner vane support. The turbine vanes are adapted to interact with gases flowing through a gas path of the gas turbine engine. The outer vane support is arranged radially outward of the turbine vane and configured to receive aerodynamic loads from the turbine vanes. The inner vane support is arranged radially inward from the outer vane support to locate the turbine vane assembly therebetween.
