A stator assembly for use in a gas turbine engine is provided. The stator assembly including: a conical stator shroud including a radially inward surface and a radially outward surface opposite the radially inward surface; and a plurality of stator vanes integrally attached to the conical stator shroud, each of the plurality of stator vanes being integrally attached to the conical stator shroud at a base of the stator vane, wherein radially outward surface of the base of the stator vane mates flush with the radially inward surface of the conical stator shroud.

Gas turbine engine stator vane base shape

A stator vane assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an inner vane support defining a first aperture, an outer vane support defining a second aperture, a stator having an inner end that extends through the first aperture and an outer end that extends through the second aperture, and a first bracket. The first bracket is operatively connected to the inner vane support and extends over the first aperture. The first bracket and the inner vane support defining a first pocket.
