A guide vane assembly for a stator vane stage comprises at least two aerofoil members joined together using a vane assembly attachment web. The vane assembly attachment web may be provided at the inner and/or outer radius of the aerofoil members. The vane assembly attachment web allows the guide vane assembly to be attached to an inner and/or outer attachment ring, thereby forming a stator vane stage. Such an arrangement may allow composite fibre reinforced guide vane assemblies to be readily assembled together to form stator vane stages. Stator vane stages that comprise such composite fibre reinforced guide vane assemblies may be lighter than conventional metallic stator vane stages |
