Abstract
The invention concerns a gas turbine engine component () comprising an outer ring (), an inner ring (), a plurality of circumferentially spaced elements () extending between the inner ring () and the outer ring (), wherein an annular load transfer structure () extends circumferentially along an inner side of the inner ring () and also inwards in a radial direction of the component (). The first portion (), at least along a part of the circumference, is inclined in the radial direction in relation to a second portion (), wherein the two inclined portions () are connected in a connection zone () between the inclined portions (), and wherein a radial and/or axial position of the connection zone () varies along the circumference such that the radial/axial position of the connection zone in a location that circumferentially corresponds to a first element (), i.e. in a first circumferential location (A), is radially and/or axially different from the radial/axial position of the connection zone () in-between the first element () and an adjacent second element (), i.e. in a second circumferential location (B).
