A combustor liner panel attachment assembly. The assembly includes a first liner extending from a first end to a second end, and circumferentially to partially define a combustion zone. The assembly also includes a second liner disposed circumferentially adjacent to the first liner. The assembly further includes a radial support having a shoulder in contact with a radially inner surface of each of the first liner and the second liner to radially retain the first liner and the second liner, the radial support allowing the first liner and the second liner to thermally grow axially.

Combustor liner attachment assembly for gas turbine engine

A combustor liner panel attachment assembly includes a liner extending from a first end to a second end, and circumferentially to partially define a combustion zone. The assembly also includes a spring element located adjacent to a portion of the liner and operatively coupled to a stationary structure, the spring element having a recessed segment. The assembly further includes a protrusion feature extending radially outwardly from the liner, the protrusion feature disposed within the recessed segment of the spring element to axially retain the liner.

An annular finger seal includes a base portion defining a base edge of the annular finger seal and having a center pass-through aperture. The base edge may be substantially continuous. The annular finger seal may also include a finger portion defining a finger edge of the annular finger seal and including a plurality of fingers. The finger edge may be segmented by gaps disposed between adjacent fingers of the plurality of fingers. A gas turbine engine includes a combustor section, a turbine section, and an annular finger seal. The annular finger seal includes a plurality of fingers and the annular finger seal is disposed at an adjoining interface between the combustor section and the turbine section. The annular finger seal may be mounted to the turbine section and may engage a radially inward facing surface, relative to the engine central longitudinal axis, of the combustor section.

Combustor finger seal

A finger seal for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The finger seal includes a first leg, a second leg, a third leg, a fourth leg, a first bend segment disposed between the first leg and the second leg, a second bend segment disposed between the second leg and the third leg, and a third bend segment disposed between the third leg and the fourth leg. The third bend segment is radially outward of the first bend segment relative to an axial centerline of the gas turbine engine.

Triple bend finger seal and deflection thereof

An assembly for a turbine engine includes a turbine engine first component, a turbine engine second component and a seal assembly. The first component includes a groove and a groove surface. The second component includes a tongue that extends into the groove to a tongue surface. The seal assembly at least partially seals a gap between the groove surface and the tongue surface. The seal assembly includes a rope seal and a clip that attaches the rope seal to the tongue. The rope seal is arranged within the groove between the groove surface and the tongue surface.

Assembly for sealing a gap between components of a turbine engine

A seal system for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The seal system includes a fairing. The seal system also includes a finger seal retention unit attached to the fairing, the finger seal retention unit comprising a channel defining an opening between the fairing and the finger seal retention unit. The seal system also includes a finger seal comprising a tab corresponding to the channel of the finger seal retention unit, the finger seal configured to be removably attached to the finger seal retention unit by inserting the tab into the channel.
