Abstract:
A section of a gas turbine engine includes a case structure having a first coefficient of thermal expansion. A continuous, ring-shaped liner has a second coefficient of thermal expansion that is substantially different than the first coefficient of thermal expansion. A flexible leaf member operatively connects the liner to the case structure. The leaf member is configured to accommodate diametrical change in the liner throughout various fan section operating temperatures.
