An arcuate inner band segment is attached to the root of the vane. The inner band segment includes an inner flowpath surface bounded at forward and aft ends thereof by a forward-facing surface and an aft-facing surface, respectively. A convex curved blended corner is formed between the inner flowpath surface and the aft-facing surface.
