This invention relates to a combustor liner for a gas turbine engine with means for loosely mounting one of the two spaced liner walls relative to the other to support it so that it 'floats'. The floating wall is made up of a plurality of segments to permit relatively minimal stress during thermal expansion, and the movement of each segment is restricted by at least one washer, and removal of the washer(s) permits the segment to be individually removed without removal of adjacent segments.

Individually removable combustor liner panel for a gas turbine engine

A combined support and seal ring supports the aft end of an annular combustor and provides a seal to contact the leading edge of the platform of the adjacent stator vane for sealing the cooling air from the gas path in a gas turbine engine.
