Abstract
Foreign object damage (FOD) screen assemblies and gas turbine engine compartments having FOD screen assemblies are provided. FOD screen assemblies provided herein are formed of materials that reduce the overall weight of the assembly such that easier handling and repair of the FOD screen assembly may be achieved. Further, the FOD screen assemblies provided herein include features that provide for a secure attachment of one or more mesh members to frame members of the assembly. The one or more mesh members are secured to the frame members in such a way that minimal stress is placed on the mesh member at the attachment points.
