Foreign object damage resistant vane assembly

摘要

A vane assembly (20) for a gas turbine engine including a shroud (26) with openings (54) defined therein about a circumference thereof and vanes (22) extending radially from the shroud (26) with a vane tip (24) in each opening (54). Isolating means (28) are disposed in each opening (54) to isolate the vane tip (24) from the shroud ring (34). Each vane tip (24) is engaged with the shroud (26) by retaining means (38) for restricting movement of the vane tip (24) in an axial direction relative to said shroud (26).
