    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 method of fabricating an airfoil includes drawing a continuous woven fabric ply over a contoured surface that has a geometry that is analogous to a geometry of an airfoil. The continuous woven fabric ply takes the geometry of the contoured surface to thereby form a contoured continuous woven fabric ply. The contoured continuous woven fabric ply is then wrapped around an airfoil tool to produce an airfoil preform. The airfoil tool has a geometry that is analogous to the airfoil. The contoured continuous woven fabric ply takes the geometry of the airfoil tool. The airfoil preform is then densified with a ceramic matrix to produce a ceramic matrix composite airfoil.

    Abstract: A vane arc segment includes an airfoil fairing that has first and second fairing platforms and a hollow airfoil section extending there between. There is a spar having 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 with a clevis mount that that protrudes from the second fairing platform. A support platform adjacent the second fairing platform has first and second through-holes. The end portion of the spar leg extends through the first through-hole and a pin extends though the clevis mount to lock the support platform to the spar leg. A stabilizer rod extends through the second through-hole of the support platform and limits rotation of the support platform about the pin.
