Abstract
A turbine frame includes annular outer and inner bands with circumferentially spaced apart struts extending therebetween. Annular outer and inner liners adjoin the outer and inner bands, and a plurality of fairings surround respective ones of the struts and are joined to the liners. A plurality of circumferentially spaced apart telescopic outer and inner joints support the liners to the bands, and allow unrestrained differential thermal radial movement therebetween.
