Abstract
In a method for installation of a transition duct in a gas turbine engine, a guide structure is positioned that extends in an inclined direction with respect to a gas turbine axis. At least a portion of the guide structure is disposed between a turbine section and a combustor section of the gas turbine engine. The transition duct is engaged with the guide structure such that the transition duct is movable along the guide structure. Motion is imparted to the transition duct along the guide structure in a forward-to-aft direction, to move the transition duct to an installed position in which an aft end of the transition duct is aligned for attachment to a forward face of a stator component of the turbine section.
