摘要

A gas turbine engine component comprises a frame and a fairing. The frame comprises a monolithic ring-strut-ring structure. The fairing comprises a multi-segment ring-strut-ring structure that is assembled around the frame. A method of assembling the frame and fairing comprises positioning a plurality of shroud segments within a frame and joining the plurality of shroud segments to each other so that the fairing is trapped within the frame.
