A turbine vane assembly for use in a gas turbine engine includes turbine vanes, a segmented inner vane support, and an outer vane support. The turbine vanes are arranged around a central axis of the engine. The inner vane support is arranged radially inwardly of the turbine vanes. The outer vane support includes a full-hoop outer support ring located radially outward of the plurality of turbine vanes and extends entirely circumferentially about the central axis. The outer vane support further includes a plurality of discrete support spars coupled to the full-hoop outer support ring and extending radially inward from the full-hoop outer support ring through an interior cavity of a respective turbine vane.
