    Abstract: An airfoil includes an airfoil body having a first section and a second section that differ in coefficient of thermal expansion by at least 10% and that each have a through-thickness that is 20% or greater than a through-thickness of the airfoil body. The second section is arranged in thermomechanical juxtaposition with the first section such that the first section and the second section cooperatively thermomechanically control a profile of the airfoil body responsive to varying thermal conditions.

    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 vane seal system includes a first non-rotatable vane segment that has a first airfoil with a first pocket at one end thereof. A second non-rotatable vane segment includes a second airfoil with a second pocket at one end thereof spaced by a gap from the first pocket. A seal member spans across the gap and extends in the first pocket and the second pocket. The seal member includes a seal element and at least one spring portion configured to positively locate the seal member in a sealing direction. Also disclosed is a seal for a vane seal system and a method related thereto for damping relative movement between a first pocket and a second pocket.

    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.
