Original Abstract Submitted
An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This assembly includes a compressor rotor and a flowpath wall. The compressor rotor is rotatable about an axis. The compressor rotor includes a plurality of compressor blades arranged circumferentially around the axis. The flowpath wall forms an outer peripheral boundary of a flowpath in which the compressor blades are disposed. The flowpath wall includes a polymer shell and a metal liner bonded to the polymer shell. The polymer shell axially overlaps and circumscribes the metal liner. The metal liner axially overlaps and circumscribes the compressor blades.
