Abstract

In an integrated strut and turbine vane nozzle (ISV) configuration, lug/slot or tag/groove arrangements may be provided between an interturbine duct (ITD) of the ISV and a vane ring of the ISV such that struts of the ITD and associated vanes are angularly positioned to form integrated strut-vane airfoils, reducing mismatch at the integration.
