Abstract
A means () for structurally stiffening or reinforcing a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) gas turbine component, such as an airfoil-shaped component, is provided. This structural stiffening or reinforcing of the airfoil allows for reducing bending stress that may be produced from internal or external pressurization of the airfoil without incurring any substantial thermal stress. The stiffener is disposed on a CMC wall and generally extends along a chord length of the airfoil.
