Abstract
The last stages of a compressor section of a gas turbine engine that utilizes a drum rotor and segmented stator supported to an axially split outer case suspends the segmented stator case to a full hoop outer case so that the segmented stator displaces axially and thermally grows circumferentially while being constrained radially. A method of assembly and disassembly of the full hoop outer case is provided.
