The present disclosure provides a wear liner for a stator vane that has a first hook and a second hook that are connected by a base, providing in a generally S-shaped channel. The wear liner includes an outer surface that is adapted to lie against a first component and an inner surface that is adapted to lie against a second component. The first hook of the wear liner includes a first engaging end that is adapted to engage a first component, while the second hook is adapted to engage the second component. The first component may comprise a vane foot and the second component may comprise a slot for receiving and securing the vane foot.

Wear liner for fixed stator vanes

A stator assembly having: an inner air seal carrier having a mounting body; a plurality of guide vanes secured to the mounting body via a plurality of fasteners; and a fastener retention mechanism secured to the mounting body via the plurality of fasteners. The fastener retention mechanism having: a housing defining an inner chamber; and a filler located within the inner chamber. The portions of the plurality of fasteners are encapsulated within the filler.

Fastener retention mechanism

An endoscopic illumination tester is provided for testing illumination quality of a light source. The endoscopic illumination tester includes an optical bridge that is removably interlockable with the light source. The endoscopic illumination tester includes an integrating sphere that is removably interlockable with the optical bridge. The endoscopic illumination tester may further engage a light guide connectable between the optical bridge and the light source. An endoscope may be inserted between the optical bridge and the integrating sphere.
