Ceramic matrix composite turbine engine components with unitary stiffening frame

A turbine engine component comprising:

• a ceramic matrix composite body having a base portion and frame portion, the base portion and the frame portion being unitary, the frame portion including at least three unitary side walls that enclose a space, wherein each side wall transitions at opposite ends into one of the other side walls, each side wall extending substantially radially outward from the base portion, and wherein each side wall transitions into the base portion such that the frame portion is closed on one side wherein the transition between two side walls occurs in a side wall transition region, wherein the ceramic matrix composite includes a ceramic matrix and a plurality of fibers therein, wherein at least some of the fibers span continuously across the side wall transition region and extend into a portion of each of the two side walls;
• the turbine engine component further including a stationary turbine support structure, wherein at least two of the side walls of the body are operatively connected to the stationary turbine support structure, whereby the turbine engine component is a ring seal segment.

A turbine engine ring seal segment comprising:

• a ring seal segment body made of ceramic matrix composite, the ring seal body having a base portion and frame portion, the base portion and the frame portion being unitary,
• the frame portion extending substantially radially outward from the base portion, the frame portion having a forward side wall and an opposite aft side wall, the frame portion further including a first transverse side wall and an opposite second transverse side wall, wherein the first and second transverse side walls are angled relative to the forward and aft side walls, wherein the forward side wall transitions into each of the first and second transverse side walls, and wherein the aft side wall transitions at opposite ends into the first and second transverse side walls, wherein the transition between at least one of the side walls and the base portion occurs in a transition region, and wherein the ceramic matrix composite includes a ceramic matrix and a plurality of fibers therein, a plurality of fibers spanning continuously across the transition region.
