<p>A stator assembly (10) for a gas turbine engine (12), comprising: a plurality of stator vanes (20), each formed from a generally elongated airfoil (34) having a leading edge (36), a trailing edge (38), a pressure side (40), a suction side (42), an inner endwall (14) coupled to a first end (44) and an outer endwall (16) coupled to a second end (46) opposite the first end (44); a first radially outer tie bar (22) coupled to each outer endwall (16) of a portion of the stator vanes (20); at least one inner alignment pin (48) extending between adjacent inner endwalls (14) to couple adjacent inner endwalls (14) together; at least one forward inner seal ring (50) attached to the inner endwall (14); and at least one deformable seal (52) coupled to at least one radially inner surface (54) of the forward inner seal ring (50), wherein the at least one deformable seal (52) includes an upstream facing contact surface (110) and radially inward facing contact surface (112).</p> |
