    Abstract: A stator assembly of a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first shroud that extends about an axis to bound a flow path. The first shroud defines a first shroud opening. An airfoil has an airfoil body that extends from a first end portion. The first end portion is received in the first shroud opening and defines a pair of airfoil openings. At least one retention clip has an intermediate portion connecting a pair of elongated leg portions. The pair of elongated leg portions are received in the pair of airfoil openings such that the at least one retention clip limits movement of the airfoil relative to the first shroud. A method of assembling a stator assembly is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A guide vane retention system for a gas turbine engine. The system includes an outer diameter shroud defining an aperture. Also included is a guide vane having a radially outer end extending through the aperture, the guide vane defining a slot proximate the radially outer end and positioned radially outwardly of the outer diameter shroud in an installed condition of the guide vane. Further included is a clip disposed within the slot of the guide vane. The clip includes a looped end. The clip also includes a first leg extending away from the looped end to a first free end. The clip further includes a second leg extending away from the looped end to a second free end.

The first shroud defines a first shroud opening. An airfoil has an airfoil body extending from a first end portion. The first end portion is received in the first shroud opening and defines a pair of airfoil openings. A retention clip has an intermediate portion connecting a first leg portion and a second leg portion. The intermediate portion is compressible to position the first and second leg portions in the pair of airfoil openings such that the retention clip limits movement of the airfoil relative to the first shroud.

    Abstract: An improved stator assembly for use in a gas-turbine engine is disclosed. The stator assembly may comprise a vane, an inner diameter (ID) ring, an outer diameter (OD) ring, a vane disposed between the ID ring and the OD ring, a potting component coupling the vane to at least one of the OD ring or the ID ring, and a potting embedded component disposed within the potting component. The potting embedded component may prevent disbond of the potting component during operation of the gas-turbine engine.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a stator vane assembly. The stator vane assembly includes an inner diameter shroud, an outer diameter shroud located radially outward from the inner diameter shroud, a vane extending radially outward from the first inner diameter shroud to the outer diameter shroud. The wedge clip is positioned horizontally through the vane to prevent the vane from being dislodged from the stator vane assembly.
