A spacer (26) of a gas turbine engine (10) is reinforced with a fiber (34). The fiber (34) can be cured with a substrate (38) to form a fiber reinforced composite material (42). As a gas turbine engine (10) operates, the rotation creates forces which can deform, expand, contract or translate certain gas turbine engine components, including spacers (26). These forces can adversely affect gas turbine engine performance and reliability, particularly when they are either unpredictable or difficult to control. Reinforcing a spacer (26) with a fiber (34) may allow a lower system weight, more compact or configurable internal packaging or a high degree of reinforcement. |
