Abstract: A single-piece annular vane array for a gas turbine engine. The single-piece annular vane array comprises at least one mounting feature, a ring of stator vanes, and at least one baffle. The at least one baffle is attached at a first radial location to the ring of stator vanes, and is attached at a second radial location to the at least one mounting feature. The at least one baffle is deformable.

Abstract: An igniter arranged to ignite combustion in a primary flow including a fuel and air mixture, the igniter including one or more geometric features arranged to: induce a shockwave flow structure at least partially disposed in the primary flow; and ignite the fuel and air mixture by virtue of the shockwave flow structure. The present disclosure also relates to a method of igniting combustion in a primary flow including a fuel and air mixture, the method including: providing one or more geometric features arranged to induce a shockwave flow structure; inducing the shockwave flow structure at least partially in the primary flow; and igniting the fuel and air mixture by virtue of the shockwave flow structure.
