    Abstract: A vane arc segment includes an airfoil fairing that has first and second fairing platforms and a hollow airfoil section that extends there between. A spar has a spar platform adjacent the first fairing platform and a spar leg that extends from the spar platform and through the hollow airfoil section. The spar leg has an end portion that is distal from the platform and that protrudes from the second fairing platform. The end portion has a clevis mount. There is a support platform adjacent the second fairing platform. The support platform has a through-hole through which the end portion of the spar leg extends such that the clevis mount protrudes from the support platform. A pin extends though the clevis mount and locks the support platform to the spar leg such that the airfoil fairing is trapped between the spar platform and the support platform.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating an airfoil fairing for a vane arc segment includes providing a mandrel that necks down through a mandrel neck portion, providing fiber plies around the mandrel to form a tube that defines at least a portion of an airfoil profile of an airfoil section of an airfoil fairing, the fiber plies following the mandrel neck portion such that the tube has a corresponding tube neck portion that necks down to a collar, and removing the mandrel from the tube.

    Abstract: An airfoil assembly includes an airfoil fairing, a spar, a seal plate, and a seal. The airfoil fairing has a fairing platform and a hollow airfoil section that extends from the fairing platform. The spar has a spar leg that extends in the hollow airfoil section. The spar leg defines a spar leg periphery. The seal plate is secured with the fairing platform. The seal plate has an opening, and the opening has an opening periphery that is complementary to the spar leg periphery. The spar leg extends through the opening. The seal is between the seal plate and the spar leg. The seal seals around the spar leg periphery.

    Abstract: A vane arc segment includes an airfoil fairing that has first and second fairing platforms and a hollow airfoil section. A spar has a spar platform adjacent the first fairing platform and a hollow spar leg that extends from the spar platform and through the hollow airfoil section. The hollow spar leg has an internal passage for receiving cool air there through, a clevis mount, and a pin fairing. The clevis mount is distal from the spar platform and protrudes from the second fairing platform. The clevis mount includes first and second prongs with aligned holes. A pin extends through the aligned holes. The pin fairing extends over the pin between the first and second prongs for guiding the cooling air around the pin. There is a support platform adjacent the second fairing platform. The pin locks the support platform to the spar leg.
