Segmented composite compressor deswirl
 The present invention provides a self-sealing segmented deswirl molded from an organic matrix composite. Each deswirl segment is comprised of a length of outer shroud, an integral mounting flange extending radially outward from the shroud, and several integral deswirl vanes extending radially inward from the shroud. A means for sealing between segments is provided at the circumferential ends of the mounting flange. The sealing means includes an integral flexible sealing member extending from one end of the mounting flange, and a mating slot for sealingly receiving the sealing member at the other end of the mounting flange.
