Abstract

See full text

A coupling support member including a pair of divided pieces is placed in a coupling part between a vane proximal end portion of a guide vane and an attachment flange, and the pair of divided pieces are joined to the vane proximal end portion from both the sides in the vane thickness direction. A groove is formed in one end portion joint surface of the coupling support member, a linear protrusion is formed on the other end portion joint surface, the vane proximal end portion is formed into a concavo-convex shape, a linear protrusion that is engaged with the groove which is formed in the end portion joint surface is formed on a joint surface to the one end portion joint surface, a groove that is engaged with the linear protrusion formed on the end portion joint surface is formed in the joint surface to the other end portion joint surface. The vane proximal end portion is held between the pair of divided pieces of the coupling support member, by the fastening force that is applied to the coupling support member from both the sides in the vane thickness direction. It is possible to obtain a high structural strength while contributing to a reduction in weight of a jet engine.
