Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for supporting an aft portion of a transition duct in a gas turbine engine includes a transition aft frame that engages with an annular shaped stator component disposed in a turbine section of the gas turbine engine. The transition aft frame includes radially inner and outer panels and circumferentially spaced first and second side panels connecting the inner and outer panels. A forward face of the stator component includes first and second connection points circumferentially spaced apart. The transition aft frame includes first and second attachment structures that respectively engage with the first and second connection points when the transition duct is aligned axially with the stator component. The first and second attachment structures are spaced apart in a manner effective to transfer moment load from the first and second attachment structures to the first and second side panels respectively.
