Abstract

A turbine vane assembly for use in a gas turbine engine includes an endwall, a flow path component, and a load-distribution system. The endwall is arranged around a central axis of the turbine vane assembly. The flow path component is configured to direct fluid flow through the turbine vane assembly. The load-distribution system is positioned between the endwall and the flow path component to distribute loads transmitted between the endwall and the flow path component.
