Abstract

An annular flexible flange (14; 114; 214; 314; 414) is provided for connecting components (10, 12) of a gas turbine engine having different rates of thermal response to transient thermal events. The annular flexible flange (14...414) is disposed about an axis (A) and extends radially from an annular body. The annular flexible flange (14...414) includes a plurality of fastener flanges (18; 118; 218; 318; 418) spaced circumferentially about the flexible flange (14...414) and a plurality of flexible arms (42; 142; 242; 342; 442) connected to the annular body and connected to the plurality of fastener flanges (18...418). The plurality of flexible arms (42...442) are configured to flex in a radial direction. The plurality of fastener flanges (18...418) are separated from the annular body by a gap.
