Abstract
A strut and IGV configuration in a gas turbine engine positioned at an upstream of a rotor includes a plurality of radial struts, for example for bearing engine loads, and a plurality of inlet guide vanes positioned axially spaced apart from the struts. The number of inlet guide vanes is greater than the number of struts. The struts are circumferentially aligned with the inlet guide vanes.
