Gas turbine engine with adapter to permit borescope inspection

摘要

An adapter (40) to permit borescope access inside a gas turbine engine including a compressor stator having a plurality of compressor stator segments (52a, 52b) comprises a body portion (42) defining a bore (44) extending longitudinally therethrough from a first end (46) to be disposed adjacent to outside surfaces of adjacent compressor stator segments (52a, 52b) to a second end (48) to be disposed adjacent to inside surfaces of adjacent compressor stator segments (52a, 52b). The bore (44) permits a borescope to enter therethrough. The adapter (40) further comprises an attachment portion (50) for circumferentially coupling at least one compressor stator segment (52a, 52b) to an outer casing (51) of the gas turbine engine.
