  • Combustor panels for gas turbine engines
    Patent number: 11692486
    Abstract: Methods for manufacturing combustor panels of gas turbine engines and combustor panels are described. The methods include defining a particle deposit near-steady state for at least a portion of a combustor panel, the particle deposit near-steady state representative of a build-up of particles on the at least a portion of the combustor panel during use, generating a template based on the defined particle deposit near-steady state, wherein the template includes one or more augmentation elements based on the representative of build-up of particles, and forming a combustor panel based on the template, wherein the formed combustor panel includes one or more augmentation elements defined in the template.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2022
    Date of Patent: July 4, 2023
    Assignee: RAYTHEON TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
