Abstract

A flow path component assembly includes a support structure. A flow path component has a plurality of segments that are arranged circumferentially about an axis and are mounted in the support structure by a carrier. At least one of the segments have a first wall axially spaced from a second wall. The first wall has first and second hooks spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction. The second wall has third and fourth hooks spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction. The first, second, third, and fourth hooks are in engagement with the carrier.

Claims (25)

1. A flow path component assembly, comprising:

a support structure;

a flow path component having a plurality of segments arranged circumferentially about an axis and mounted in the support structure by a carrier; and

at least one of the segments having a first wall axially spaced from a second wall, the first wall having first and second hooks spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction, the second wall having third and fourth hooks spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth hooks are in engagement with the carrier, wherein the flow path component is formed from a plurality of ceramic matrix composite plies, and an overwrap ply extends about the first and second walls, wherein a portion of the plurality ceramic matrix composite piles have ends that terminate at the first or second wall, and the overwrap ply covers the ends.

2. The flow path component assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first hook extends generally in a first circumferential direction, and the second hook extends generally in a second circumferential direction opposite the first circumferential direction.

3. The flow path component assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second hooks form a dovetail shape for engagement with the carrier.

4. The flow path component assembly of claim 3 , wherein the third and fourth hooks form the dovetail shape for engagement with the carrier.

5. The flow path component assembly of claim 1 , wherein the carrier has a first angled surface circumferentially spaced from a second angled surface, the first angled surface is in engagement with the first and third hooks and the second angled surface is in engagement with the third and fourth hooks.

6. The flow path component assembly of claim 5 , wherein the carrier has a radially inwardly extending portion that extends circumferentially between the first angled surface and the second angled surface.

7. The flow path component assembly of claim 6 , wherein the radially inwardly extending portion extends radially inward of the third and fourth hooks.

8. The flow path component assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first and second walls extend from a base portion, and the base portion extends axially forward of the first wall and axially aft of the second wall.

9. The flow path component assembly of claim 1 , wherein a tab extends from one of the first and second walls in a generally radial direction and engages a portion of the support structure.

10. The flow path component assembly of claim 9 , wherein a slot is formed in the support structure for receiving the tab.

11. The flow path component assembly of claim 1 , wherein a liner is arranged between the first, second, third, and fourth hooks and the carrier.

12. The flow path component assembly of claim 1 , wherein the carrier is a metallic material.

13. The flow path component assembly of claim 1 , wherein a resilient element is arranged between the carrier and the at least one segment, the resilient element configured to bias the at least one segment radially inward.

14. A turbine section for a gas turbine engine, comprising:

a turbine blade extending radially outwardly to a radially outer tip and for rotation about an axis of rotation;

a blade outer air seal having a plurality of seal segments arranged circumferentially about the axis and mounted radially outward of the radially outer tip by a carrier;

at least one of the seal segments having a first wall axially spaced from a second wall, the first wall having first and second hooks spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction, the second wall having third and fourth hooks spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth hooks are in engagement with the carrier, wherein the carrier has a first angled surface circumferentially spaced from a second angled surface, the first angled surface is in engagement with the first and third hooks and the second angled surface is in engagement with the third and fourth hooks, and wherein a tab extends from one of the first and second walls in a generally radial direction and engages a portion of the carrier, and a slot is formed in the carrier for receiving the tab.

15. The turbine section of claim 14 , wherein the first hook extends generally in a first circumferential direction, and the second hook extends generally in a second circumferential direction opposite the first circumferential direction.

16. The turbine section of claim 14 , wherein the first and second hooks form a dovetail shape for engagement with the carrier, and the third and fourth hooks form the dovetail shape for engagement with the carrier.

17. The turbine section of claim 14 , wherein the blade outer air seal is a ceramic material.

18. The turbine section of claim 17 , wherein a metallic liner is arranged between the first, second, third, and fourth hooks and the carrier.

19. The turbine section of claim 14 , wherein the carrier is a metallic material.
