NOZZLE AND NOZZLE ASSEMBLY FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE

摘要

Nozzles and nozzle assemblies for gas turbine engines are provided. A nozzle includes an airfoil having an exterior surface defining a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, an outer band disposed radially outward of the airfoil, the outer band including a radially outwardly-facing end surface, and an inner band disposed radially inward of the airfoil, the inner band including a radially inwardly-facing end surface. The nozzle further includes a flange extending radially from one of the radially outwardly-facing end surface or the radially inwardly-facing end surface. The flange is formed from a ceramic matrix composite material and includes a plurality of ceramic matrix composite plies stacked together and generally having an L-shape in a circumferential cross-sectional view.
