US Patent 10975706 Frustic load transmission feature for composite structures

A stator vane may comprise an airfoil extending between a first platform and a second platform, the airfoil including a core extending relatively orthogonal to the first platform and the second platform, at least one of the first platform or second platform comprising a frustic load transmission feature, wherein the frustic load transmission feature comprises at least a first angular surface disposed proximate a platform edge, wherein the first angular surface is defined by a non-orthogonal angle θ with respect to an outer platform surface.
