Abstract:
An axial compressor comprises a plurality of compressor stages positioned axially adjacent one another within a casing. Each of the plurality of compressor stages comprise a rotor segment and a banded stator segment positioned axially adjacent the rotor segment. An annulus is formed between the casing and an outer flowpath ring of the stator segment. A vane of each stator segment comprises a member extending into the annulus.
