In the turbofan engine 1 described above, the core engine is largely displaced forward, backward, leftward and rightward in the casing. That is, during engine operation, the high temperature portion undergoes large thermal expansion, and changes in thrust cause the entire core engine to move back and forth within the casing. Also in the turbine, the turbine vane is displaced in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction by the gas flow acting on the stationary blade (turbine vane).

For the displacement (in the engine circumferential direction), the lever ratio is set to (2: 1), and the displacement generated in the high temperature portion is transmitted to a thermally mild portion outside the engine. In this lever type displacement transmission mechanism,
