Abstract: A gas turbine engine apparatus includes an engine flowpath, a protuberance and a variable vane. The protuberance projects into the engine flowpath. The variable vane extends across the engine flowpath. The variable vane includes a pivot axis and an airfoil. The variable vane is configured to pivot about the pivot axis between a first position and a second position. The airfoil extends spanwise along a span line between a first end and a second end. The airfoil extends chordwise along a chord line between a leading edge and a trailing edge. A recess extends spanwise into the airfoil from the first end. The airfoil, at the first end, is spaced from the protuberance when the variable vane is in the first position. The airfoil, at the first end, is aligned with the protuberance and the protuberance projects into the recess when the variable vane is in the second position.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a fiber-reinforced airfoil ring includes providing a mandrel that has a mandrel suction side and mandrel pressure side, and forming an endless braid around the mandrel. The endless braid conforms to the mandrel suction side and the mandrel pressure side. The endless braid is then consolidated with a matrix material. The mandrel is then removed, leaving the consolidated endless braid as a fiber-reinforced airfoil ring that has a suction side wall that extends between inner and outer platforms, a pressure side wall that extends between the inner and outer platforms, and suction and pressure side mate faces along, respectively, edges of the suction side wall and the pressure side wall, and at least one of the suction or pressure side mate faces includes protrusions along a trailing edge.
