Abstract

A variable vane assembly for a gas turbine engine compressor and method of manufacturing same is described. A plurality of projections on the inner and/or outer shroud protrude into the annular gas path, each projection being at least partially circumferentially disposed between two variable vanes and located adjacent the overhang portion thereof. The projections have an angled planar surface that is substantially parallel to a plane defined by a terminal edge of the overhang portion of the variable vanes when pivoted through a vane pivot arc.
