A gas turbine engine includes a plurality of blades circumferentially spaced from each other. A plurality of rings are spaced radially outward from the plurality of blade. At least one actuator is in mechanical communication with the plurality of rings for moving the plurality of rings in an axial direction to create an axial gap adjacent at least one of the plurality of rings.
