Abstract
An improved stator assembly is disclosed. The stator assembly may comprise an exit guide vane, an OD ring, and an ID ring. The exit guide vane may couple at one end to the OD ring and at an opposite end to the ID ring. The exit guide vane may comprise a leading edge opposite of a trailing edge. The OD ring and the ID ring may couple to a diffuser assembly of a gas turbine engine. The stator assembly may further comprise an aft OD seal, a forward OD seal, an ID seal, and a diffuser assembly seal to reduce airflow leaks around the stator assembly.
