Abstract

A CMC turbine stator blade 1 includes a blade 2 of a ceramic matrix composite material formed or a metallic material, and a band 5 formed of a ceramic matrix composite material and supporting the blade 2 . The blade 2 includes a first fitting portion 3 to which the band 5 is fitted outside. The band 5 includes a second fitting portion 7 to which the first fitting portion 3 is fitted inside. A flexible wire 8 is disposed between the fitting portions 3, 7 to fix the blade 2 and the band 5 . A first groove 3 a in the outer peripheral surface of the first fitting portion 3 extends in the front-to-rear direction of the blade 2 . A second groove 7 a in the inner peripheral surface of the second fitting portion 7 a extends along the first groove 3 a . The wire 8 is disposed between the grooves 3 a, 7 a.

Claims (15)
