    Abstract: A rotary component for a gas turbine engine defining a central axis extending along an axial direction, a radial direction extending perpendicular to the axial direction, and a circumferential direction perpendicular to both the central axis and the radial direction. The rotary component includes a plurality of rotor blades operably coupled to a rotating shaft extending along the central axis and an outer casing arranged exterior to the plurality of rotor blades in the radial direction and defining an annular gap between a tip of each of the plurality of rotor blades and the outer casing. The outer casing includes a plurality of features on an interior surface of the outer casing. A first feature of the feature(s) defines a first casing thickness, and a second feature positioned at least partially circumferentially or axially from the first feature defines a second casing thickness different than the first casing thickness.
