Abstract
A turbine assembly includes a turbine case, a vane assembly, and a locating plate. The vane assembly includes a first vane and an outer platform arranged on a radially outer end of the first vane, the outer platform including a first anti-rotation protrusion extending radially outwardly away from a radially outwardly-facing surface of the outer platform. The locating plate is radially outside of the vane assembly and includes a main wall and two anti-rotation extensions extending radially inwardly. The first anti-rotation protrusion of the vane assembly is arranged to engage with one of the anti-rotation extensions so as to block circumferential movement of the vane assembly relative to the locating plate.
