  • Patent number: 10823406
    Abstract: A combined liner and panel for use in a gas turbine engine comprise a ceramic matrix composite panel having a plurality of extending members extending away from a face of ceramic matrix composite panel which will face hot products of combustion. A liner includes a plurality of spring members that apply a bias force biasing the extending members. The spring members bias the extending members on the panel in a direction away from the face of the panel which will face the hot products of combustion. A gas turbine engine, and a method of attaching a ceramic matrix composite panel to a liner are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20190072277
    Abstract: A trailing edge box for an augmentor vane includes an exterior-facing slot extending longitudinally along the trailing edge box. A monolithic spraybar provides fuel to a working environment of the augmentor vane. The monolithic spraybar includes a spray arm that is slidably inserted into the slot. A fuel aperture is integral with and extends into the spray arm. The fuel aperture receives fuel provided through a supply passage in the spray arm and provides the fuel to the working environment. The spray arm is disposed in the slot such that the fuel aperture is directly exposed to the working environment.

  • Patent number: 10190506
    Abstract: An exemplary turbomachine exhaust flow diverting assembly includes an outer flow diverter distributed about a rotational axis of a turbomachine. The outer flow diverter moveable between a first position and a second position. The outer flow diverter in the first position permits more flow through a main bypass flow passage and less flow through a third stream bypass flow passage. The outer flow diverter in the second position permits more flow through the third stream bypass flow passage and less flow through the main bypass flow passage.
