Abstract
A gas turbine engine component is provided including at least one ring element, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced load carrying vanes extending in a radial direction of the ring element. The load carrying vanes have an internal structure with an anisotropic load carrying property, and the internal structure is configured so that a main load carrying direction is in parallel with the extension direction of the load carrying vane. The component includes a stiffening structure bridging the distance between at least two adjacent load carrying vanes in the circumferential direction of the ring element, and the at least two adjacent load carrying vanes are attached to the stiffening structure.
