Hafner, Matthew Troy

A nozzle assembly is disclosed, including a CMC nozzle shell, a nozzle spar, and an endwall. The CMC nozzle shell includes a CMC composition and an interior cavity. The nozzle spar is partially disposed within the interior cavity and includes a metallic composition, a cross-sectional conformation, a plurality of spacers protruding from the cross-sectional conformation, the plurality of spacers contacting the CMC nozzle shell, and a spar cap. The endwall includes at least one surface in lateral contact with the spar cap and maintains a lateral orientation of the CMC nozzle shell and the nozzle spar relative to the endwall. The lateral orientation maintains a predetermined throat area of the nozzle assembly. A method for forming the nozzle assembly includes inserting the nozzle spar into the interior cavity, rotating the CMC nozzle shell and the nozzle spar laterally relative to the endwall, and maintaining the lateral orientation.
