Abstract
A turbine flowpath assembly includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart airfoils disposed within an annular outer casing. Each of the airfoils includes outer and inner integral bands. A plurality of flowpath outer and inner panels are disposed between adjacent ones of the bands and circumferentially overlap the bands. The panels and bands are joined together at the respective overlaps using tripod plates and fasteners therethrough for allowing circumferential movement therebetween while providing sealing.
