    Abstract: An airfoil vane includes an airfoil section which includes an outer wall that defines an internal cavity. A baffle is situated in the internal cavity. The baffle includes a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion which is bonded to the leading edge portion at a joint. The leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion define an internal cavity therewithin. Both the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion include a plurality of cooling holes which are configured to provide cooling air to the airfoil outer wall. The trailing edge portion is formed of sheet metal and the leading edge portion is formed of non-sheet-metal. A method of making a baffle for a vane arc segment and a method of assembling a ceramic matrix composite airfoil vane are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine support system includes a vane arc segment, a vane support arc segment piece configured to engage the vane arc segment, and a seal disposed radially between the vane arc segment and the vane support arc segment piece. The seal includes first and second seal sections. The first seal section has a floor wall and first and second side walls that project from the floor wall. The first and second side walls converge to define a disjointed corner. The second seal section nests with the first seal section and seals the disjointed corner.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine component includes a vane arc segment that defines an axis. The vane arc segment includes an airfoil section and first and second platforms. The airfoil section has a first radial end, a second radial end, a first side, a second side, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The airfoil section has associated characteristics, including a center of pressure and an aerodynamic load vector through the center of pressure. The first platform defines a first side chevron face that has a leading leg and a trailing leg that meet at an angle. The leading leg is elongated along a centerline that is non-axially oriented with respect to the axis, the leading leg meets the leading face at a leading first side corner. The leading first side corner is located outside of the aerodynamic load vector relative to the leading edge of the airfoil section.

    Abstract: A vane arc segment includes an airfoil piece that defines a first platform and an airfoil section that extends from the first platform. The first platform defines a radial flange that extends along at least a portion of a circumferential mate face of the first platform. The airfoil piece is formed of a fiber-reinforced composite that has fibers that are continuous between the airfoil section and the first platform. The airfoil section carries a second platform radially opposite the first platform. The second platform includes a through-hole, and the airfoil section extends through the through-hole.
