Abstract
A compressor assembly of a gas turbine engine of an aircraft includes an impeller configured to rotate about an engine central longitudinal axis, and a diffuser positioned at a compressor outlet fluidly downstream of the impeller. One or more support structures are secured to the diffuser via a plurality of support fasteners. The plurality of support fasteners are configured to be frangible when torsional loads from the diffuser on the one or more support structures exceed a predetermined limit, thereby isolating the impeller and the diffuser from the one or more support structures.
