A STRUT, A GAS TURBINE ENGINE FRAME COMPRISING THE STRUT AND A GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPRISING THE FRAME

摘要

The invention relates to a strut (19) for being arranged between an annular inner structural casing (16) and an annular outer structural casing (17) in a gas turbine engine frame (15) for carrying loads between the inner and outer structural casing (16,17) during operation. The strut (19) comprises a first tube (20), which is configured to house a service line or pipe (21) between the inner and outer structural casing (16,17). The strut (19) comprises a second tube (22), which is configured to house a fastening element (23) for rigidly connecting the inner and outer structural casing (16,17). The first and second tube (20,22) are arranged in a side-by-side relationship and rigidly attached to each other.
