Flow path assembly with pin supported nozzle airfoils
Flow path assemblies for gas turbine engines are provided. For example, a flow path assembly comprises an inner wall and an outer wall defining an opening therethrough, as well as a nozzle airfoil having an inner end radially opposite an outer end that is positioned within the opening defined in the outer wall such that the outer end projects radially outwardly from the outer wall. The flow path assembly also comprises a pin and a first support member. The pin extends from the first support member to the outer end of the nozzle airfoil to support the nozzle airfoil. In some embodiments, the outer end of the nozzle airfoil defines a flange configured to receive the pin and a radial stop configured to press against a radially outward external support, and the pin is configured to transfer a load on the nozzle airfoil to an external structure.
