Abstract

An attachment body for a blade outer air seal includes a leading edge connected to a trialing edge by a radially inner wall and a radially outer wall. At least one forward hook extends from the radially outer wall. At least one aft hook extends from the radially outer wall. At least one post extends from the radially outer surface and has a blade outer air seal (BOAS) guide surface.

Claims (25)

1. An attachment body for a blade outer air seal comprising:

a leading edge connected to a trialing edge by a radially inner surface and a radially outer surface, wherein the radially outer surface includes at least one blade outer air seal attachment surface for engaging the blade outer air seal;

at least one forward hook extending from the radially outer surface;

at least one aft hook extending from the radially outer surface; and

at least one post extending from the radially outer surface having a blade outer air seal guide surface.

2. The attachment body of claim 1 , wherein the at least one blade outer air seal attachment surface includes a pair of blade outer air seal attachment surfaces each located adjacent opposing circumferential sides of the attachment body.

3. The attachment body of claim 2 , wherein each of the pair of blade outer air seal attachment surfaces define an arced surface.

4. The attachment body of claim 3 , wherein the arced surface includes a constant radius of curvature about a central longitudinal axis and along the central longitudinal axis.

5. The attachment body of claim 3 , wherein the at least one post includes a pair of posts each having the blade outer air seal guide surface facing opposite circumferential sides of the attachment body.

6. The attachment body of claim 5 , wherein the pair of posts include a first post located on a first circumferential side of the at least one forward hook and a second post located on a second circumferential side of the at least one forward hook.

7. The attachment body of claim 2 , wherein the at least one aft hook includes a pair of aft hooks and each of the pair of aft hooks include an axially forward extending tab.

8. The attachment body of claim 7 , wherein the at least one post includes a pair of posts each having the blade outer air seal guide surface facing opposite circumferential directions and the pair of posts are located circumferentially inward from a corresponding one of the pair of blade outer air seal attachment surfaces.

9. The attachment body of claim 7 , wherein the pair of aft hooks each include a forward extending portion and an aft extending portion and the axially forward extending tab extends from a forward edge of the forward extending portion.

10. An attachment body for at least one blade outer air seal comprising:

a leading edge connected to a trialing edge by a radially inner surface and a radially outer surface;

at least one forward hook extending from the radially outer surface;

at least one aft hook extending from the radially outer surface;

a first post extending from the radially outer surface having a first blade outer air seal guide surface facing a first circumferential direction; and

a second post extending from the radially outer surface having a second blade outer air seal guide surface facing a second circumferential direction opposite the first circumferential direction.

11. The attachment body of claim 10 , wherein the radially outer surface includes a first blade outer air seal attachment surface and a second blade outer air seal attachment surface and the first blade outer air seal attachment surface is located adjacent a first circumferential side for engaging a first blade outer air seal of the at least one blade outer air seal and the second blade outer air seal attachment surface is located adjacent a second circumferential side for engaging a second blade outer air seal of the at least one blade outer air seal separate from the first blade outer air seal.

12. The attachment body of claim 11 , wherein the first blade outer air seal attachment surface and the second blade outer air seal attachment surface define an arced surface.

13. The attachment body of claim 12 , wherein the arced surface includes a constant radius of curvature about a central longitudinal axis and along the central longitudinal axis.

14. The attachment body of claim 11 , wherein the at least one aft hook includes a pair of aft hooks and the first blade outer air seal guide surface is located circumferentially inward from the first blade outer air seal attachment surface and the second blade outer air seal guide surface is located circumferentially inward from the second blade outer air seal attachment surface.

15. The attachment body of claim 14 , wherein the pair of aft hooks each include a forward extending portion and an aft extending portion and an axially forward extending tab extends from a forward edge of the forward extending portion.

16. The attachment body of claim 10 , wherein the first post is located on a first circumferential side of the at least one forward hook and the second post is located on a second circumferential side of the at least one forward hook.
