Abstract
The invention relates to a guide vane segment for a flow channel in a compressor of an aircraft engine as well as to an aircraft engine having a guide vane segment. The guide vane segment included at least one hook at a shroud for fastening in the flow channel and connecting a plurality of guide vanes at a hook end has at least one cutout with the at least one cutout dividing the hook end along its lengthwise extension in the circumferential direction. In this way, a decambering effect of the guide vane segment is reduced advantageously during operation of the aircraft engine
