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.

Abstract: A vane seal system includes a non-rotatable vane segment that has an airfoil with a pocket at one end thereof. The pocket spans in an axial direction between forward and trailing sides, with respect to the airfoil, and in a lateral direction between open lateral sides. A seal member extends in the pocket. The seal member includes a seal element and at least one spring portion that is configured to positively locate the seal member in the axial direction in the pocket. A method for positioning the seal member in a vane seal system includes positively locating the seal member in the axial direction in the pocket using the spring portion.

Abstract: A blade outer air seal for use in a gas turbine engine having an axis of rotation includes a main body having a mating face configured to face, be positioned radially outward from, and be positioned adjacent to a rotor blade of the gas turbine engine. The blade outer air seal also includes an axial member extending aft from the main body, having a first radial face configured to face a second radial face of an outer diameter platform of a stator of the gas turbine engine, and having a first abradable material coupled to the first radial face.

Abstract: A structural element and method for repairing a damaged portion of a metal component utilizes a preform configured to engage with the metal component and receive a repair material. The preform may be made of a material having a first melting point, and the repair material may be made of a material having a second melting point that is lower than the first melting point. The preform may be a mold configured to reconstruct the shape of the damaged portion of the metal component. The repair material may include a first material and an additive material, such as boron. The repair material may have a melting point that is approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit lower than the melting point of the metal component.
