Abstract:
A guide vane for use in a gas turbine engine fan section has an airfoil extending between a radially inner platform and a radially outer platform. The radially inner platform has a radially outwardly facing surface from which the airfoil extends and a radially inwardly facing underside. The airfoil has a trailing edge extending to a leading edge. The underside is attached to a mount bracket and a main rib extending from the underside of the platform adjacent the trailing edge and in a direction generally towards the leading edge, and merging into a top surface on the mount bracket. A pair of shoulders is formed on each of two circumferential sides of the rib. Each of the shoulders is spaced from each other at a point on the shoulders connected into the top surface of the mount bracket. The shoulders extend circumferentially toward each other and the under surface.
