Abstract
A shroud supports one of an inner and an outer trunnion on a variable vane. The shroud is provided by a first and a second axial half. Each of the axial halves is provided by a plurality of circumferentially spaced segments. Circumferential edges are defined on each of the plurality of circumferentially spaced segments. Edges between adjacent ones of the circumferentially spaced segments on the first half are circumferentially offset from the edges on adjacent ones of circumferentially spaced segments of the second half, such that no direct leakage path exists across an axial width of the shroud.
