Abstract

A component assembly for a gas turbine engine defining a core air flowpath is provided. The component assembly includes an outer shell comprising a first array of integral outer shell airfoils that extend inward from an outer shell periphery; and an inner shell comprising a second array of integral inner shell airfoils that extend outward from an inner shell periphery, wherein the outer shell and the inner shell are one or both of translatable and rotatable relative to one another between a first position and a second position.
