A link setting assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fixture including at least one platform mount and at least one linkage mount. The at least one linkage mount is spaced-apart from the platform mount by a distance corresponding to a predetermined link length.

Link setting assembly and method

A variable area vane arrangement includes a stator vane including a shaft having an axis. The vane arrangement also includes a vane lever arm that rotates the stator vane about the axis. The vane lever arm includes a base, a first tab and a second tab. The base is arranged laterally between the first tab and the second tab. The first tab laterally overlaps the base. The second tab includes an aperture and laterally overlaps the base and the first tab. The shaft extends through the aperture and is connected to the base.

Vane lever arm for a variable area vane arrangement

The present disclosure includes vane assemblies having a vane lever arm with an inclined profile. The inclined profile may engage with a complementary end of a vane shaft to locate, retain, and prevent rotation of the vane shaft and vane.
