Abstract
A method for forming a component for use in a gas turbine engine, such as a turbine vane construction is provided. The method broadly comprises the steps of: forming a first aerodynamic structure having a first platform with a leading edge and a trailing edge, and an edge with an airfoil suction side structure; forming a second aerodynamic structure having a second platform with a leading edge and a trailing edge, and an first edge with an airfoil pressure side structure; and joining the two structures together so that the airfoil suction side structure mates with the airfoil pressure side structure to form an airfoil.
