Each of the floating wall sectors includes a first flowpath strut component, a second flowpath strut component, a floating wall panel connected to the first flowpath strut component by a first clamp seal at a first axial joint and connected to the second flowpath strut component by a second clamp seal at a second axial joint, and a plurality of leading edge structures fore of the plurality of floating wall sectors. Each of the leading edge structures is configured to define a foil profile in conjunction with a first flowpath strut component of a first floating wall sector and an adjacent flowpath strut component of a second floating wall sector.
