An airfoil assembly has a platform and an airfoil. The platform has an upstream edge, a downstream edge, and a surface extending between the upstream edge and the downstream edge. At least a portion of the surface extends circumferentially along a surface baseline defined by a constant radial distance from the rotational axis. The airfoil has an outer wall. The outer wall extends between a root and a tip, and between a leading edge and a trialing edge. The airfoil assembly includes a fence provided along the outer wall.

Turbine engine with reduced cross flow airfoils

An airfoil assembly for a turbine engine comprising an outer band, an inner band radially spaced inwardly from the outer band to define an annular region, and multiple airfoils circumferentially spaced within the annular region. Each corresponding airfoil of the multiple airfoils can project from a surface at a root and can further include an outer wall defining a pressure side and a suction side. A projection can extend upwardly from the surface on the pressure side and a valley can extend into the surface on the suction side to define a contour in the surface.
