Abstract

A method of assembly includes locating a plurality of vanes about an inner circumference of a ring, the ring has a plurality of axially-extending projections circumferentially-spaced around the ring, each of the vanes has a radially outer platform, a flange that projects radially outwardly from the radially outer platform, and a notch that extends axially through the flange such that the notch opens at forward and aft flange faces of the flange, aligning the notch of each of the vanes with a corresponding one of the axially-extending projections on the ring, and inserting the projection into the notch to thereby prevent the vanes from rotating relative to the ring.
