Abstract

A vane system includes a plurality of vane assemblies and a continuous support ring. The vane assemblies are arranged circumferentially about an axis and each include a hollow airfoil fairing and a spar. The spar has a spar flange and a spar leg extending radially inwardly from the spar flange and through the hollow airfoil fairing. The continuous support ring has radially inner and outer sides and defines a circumferential row of through-holes between the radially inner and outer sides. The spar legs extend through the through-holes and the spar flanges are affixed at the radially outer side of the continuous support ring.
