Abstract
A compressor discharge flowpath for a gas turbine engine includes flowpath outer and inner walls joined to a plurality of circumferentially spaced flowpath dividers extending therebetween. An inner support extends from the inner wall and is joined to a turbine nozzle, and an outer support extends from the outer wall and is joined to an engine casing. The outer support preferably includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced beams being sized and configured for carrying both axial force and torque transmitted therethrough from the turbine nozzle to the casing while allowing the beams to bend radially for accommodating differential thermal movement between the casing and the outer wall.
