The plurality of vanes extend radially inward from the outer case relative to a central axis. The inner body assembly is configured to secure the plurality of vanes radially relative to the central axis. The inner body assembly includes an inner case arranged circumferentially about the central axis, a band coupled with the inner case, and a retainer ring that extends into the band and into each of the plurality of vanes.
