1. A stator disk assembly, comprising:
a stator disk comprising a plurality of lugs disposed in spaced relation to one another proceeding about a first reference axis, wherein each lug of said plurality of lugs comprises a first sidewall and second sidewall, and wherein a recess is disposed between each adjacent pair of lugs of said plurality of lugs proceeding about said first reference axis;
a first stator clip mounted on a first lug of said plurality of lugs disposed between a first recess and a second recess of said plurality of recesses, wherein said first stator clip does not protrude beyond said first sidewall of said first lug proceeding about said first reference axis in a direction of said first recess, wherein said first stator clip does not protrude beyond said second sidewall of said first lug proceeding about said first reference axis in a direction of said second recess, and wherein said first and second sidewalls of said first lug are exposed surfaces in an installed configuration for said stator disk assembly;
a first spline interface for said first recess, wherein said first spline interface consists essentially of said first sidewall of said first lug and said second sidewall of a first adjacent lug of said plurality of lugs, wherein a first base extends between said first lug and said first adjacent lug; and
a second spline interface for said second recess, wherein said second spline interface consists essentially of said second sidewall of said first lug and said first sidewall of a second adjacent lug of said plurality of lugs, wherein a second base extends between said first lug and said second adjacent lug, wherein said stator disk comprises said first base and said second base.
