The rails have at least a first section with a constant cross-sectional area normal to the casing in a circumferential direction around the outer casing, a linear centroid distribution of the cross-sections in the circumferential direction, and the centroids lie in a first plane P1 which is parallel to and spaced apart from a second plane P2 that is tangential to the outer casing mid-way between adjacent struts.
