Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to implement a stator plenum with collet seal. The stator plenum for a gas turbine engine includes an outer shell circumscribing a centerline axis, a first end of the outer shell coupled to an engine casing at a first coupling, the first coupling to form a first seal, a second end of the outer shell coupled to the engine casing at a second coupling, the second end formed by a thickened portion of the outer shell, the second coupling to form a second seal, and a cavity formed by the outer shell, the cavity to contain cooling flow to reduce a temperature of a turbine.
