==Original Abstract Submitted==

A flange stiffener support for a duct in a gas turbine engine includes a circumferential flange segment that has a plurality of flange fastener openings. An axial body segment extends from a radially inner side of the circumferential segment and has at least one body fastener opening. The axial body segment extends at least partially along a circumferential distance of the circumferential flange segment.
