A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a combustor shell, a burner seal, and a burner seal retainer. The combustor shell includes metallic materials and is formed to define an interior combustion space. The burner seal includes ceramic matrix composite materials and is configured to extend through apertures formed in the combustor shell and the heat shield. The burner seal retainer is configured to retain the burner seal to the combustor shell.

A combustor adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes a metallic combustor shell forming an interior space, a heat shield, and a liner arranged in the interior space of the metallic case. The liner defines a combustion chamber in which fuel is burned during operation of a gas turbine engine.

A sealing assembly may include a support, an engine component, and a seal. The engine component may be mounted relative to the support to define a gap between the engine component and the support. The seal may be arranged between the support and the engine component to block gasses from passing through the gap. The seal may be adapted to compress and expand to fill the gap during expansion and contraction of the adjacent components that occurs during operation of a gas turbine engine including the sealing assembly.
