STATOR WITH SUPPORT STRUCTURE FEATURE FOR TUNED AIRFOIL

A vane stage assembly includes an airfoil (68) including a leading edge (72) and a trailing edge (70). An inner shroud (64) extends from the leading edge (72) to the trailing edge (70) for supporting the airfoil (68). The shroud (64) includes a forward portion (80) including an axial width (88) and...

Zusammenfassung:A vane stage assembly includes an airfoil (68) including a leading edge (72) and a trailing edge (70). An inner shroud (64) extends from the leading edge (72) to the trailing edge (70) for supporting the airfoil (68). The shroud (64) includes a forward portion (80) including an axial width (88) and a forward thickness (86) extending in a radial direction. A ratio of the forward radial thickness (86) divided by the forward axial width (88) is between 0.64 and 1.11 for defining a natural frequency of the airfoil (68).
