Abstract
A stator vane assembly for a compressor of a gas turbine, in particular of an aircraft engine, including a plurality of stator vanes whose airfoil sections form a stagger angle with an axis of rotation of the compressor, which stagger angle varies along a duct height of the stator vane assembly. Along the duct height from the inside to the outside, the stagger angle increases to a local maximum in a second section adjoining a first, radially innermost section, and decreases to an outer local minimum in a third section adjoining this second section and, along the duct height from the inside to the outside, the stagger angle decreases from the initial value to an inner local minimum in the first, radially innermost section and/or increases from the outer local minimum to a final value in a fourth, radially outermost section adjoining the third section.
