Abstract
The backbone which is a load carrying support member of the aft end of the compressor of a gas turbine engine is fabricated from an annular disk-like element that is generally straight in cross section. The points of attachment permit circumferential thermal growth with radial restraint and snugness at judicious locations for minimizing scrubbing of the case-tied segmented inner stator case.
