Abstract
A vane arc segment includes a radially inner and outer platforms and an airfoil mechanically clamped between the platforms. The airfoil has an airfoil section that extends radially between radially inner and outer fairing platforms. At least one of the fairing platforms includes forward and aft sides, circumferential sides, and a gas path side and an opposed radial side. The radial side includes a plurality of protrusions that have faces that are oriented substantially normal to, respectively, radial, tangential, and axial load transmission directions of the airfoil such that the faces, respectively, primarily bear radial, tangential, and axial load transmissions of the airfoil.
