    Abstract: A split case assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an outer diameter case defining a partial case structure for a gas turbine engine and multiple fixed-variable vanes attached to an inner diameter surface of the outer diameter case. Each of the fixed-variable vanes protrudes radially inward from the outer diameter case. Each of the fixed-variable vanes in the plurality of fixed-variable vanes is interfaced with one of a plurality of inner diameter boxes at a radially inward end of the fixed-variable vane, such that the inner diameter boxes define an inner diameter of a flow path and the outer diameter case defines an outer diameter flow path. Each of the fixed-variable vanes are interfaced with the one of the plurality of inner diameter boxes through at least one inner diameter shoe in a plurality of inner diameter shoes.

    Abstract: A turbomachine airfoil element includes an airfoil that has pressure and suction sides spaced apart from one another in a thickness direction and joined to one another at leading and trailing edges. The airfoil extends in a radial direction a span that is in a range of 2.58-2.88 inch (65.4-73.1 mm). A chord length extends in a chordwise direction from the leading edge to the trailing edge at 50% span and is in a range of 1.59-1.89 inch (40.3-48.0 mm). The airfoil element includes at least two of a first mode with a frequency of 2088±10% Hz, a second mode with a frequency of 3099±10% Hz, a third mode with a frequency of 6890±10% Hz, a fourth mode with a frequency of 7207±10% Hz, a fifth mode with a frequency of 11241±10% Hz, a sixth mode with a frequency of 11916±10% Hz and a seventh mode with a frequency of 12600±10% Hz.

    Abstract: A stator assembly of a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first shroud extending about an assembly axis to bound a flow path. 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 example method of assembling a turbomachine airfoil array includes, among other things, securing a partial airfoil array within a fixture, the partial airfoil array having at least one existing airfoil extending radially between an inner and an outer fairing and an open area where at least one existing airfoil has been removed. The method includes mounting a positioning saddle relative to a base of the fixture, the positioning saddle aligned with the open area, holding a replacement airfoil using the positioning saddle, applying a curable material at an interface between the replacement airfoil and the inner and outer fairing, and curing the curable material while maintaining a relative position between the replacement airfoil and the inner and outer fairing.

    Abstract: A vane stage includes an arcuate platform defining an axial centerline axis having a pair of flanges that extend radially inward from the platform. The flanges are axially spaced from one another and from respective forward and aft ends of the platform. The vane stage includes a vane extending radially outward from the platform and a seal carrier mounted to the flanges of the platform. A method for constructing a vane stage includes sliding a seal carrier between flanges of an arcuate platform. Each flange includes at least a pair of through holes and interfaces with a respective axial side of the seal carrier. The method includes drilling through holes in each axial side of the seal carrier by using the through holes of each flange as guides.
