Abstract
A gas turbine engine having a fire wall configured to provide a fire resistant barrier between a first zone and a second zone in the gas turbine engine, the second zone being hotter than the first zone. The gas turbine engine also has: (i) an actuator located in the first zone, (ii) an actuatable device that is located in the second zone, (iii) a bypass duct, (iv) an off-take device to extract cooling air from the bypass duct in the gas turbine engine and to supply the extracted cooling air into the elongate housing/shell, the off-take device having a first passage and a second passage, and (v) a mechanical force transmitting device that extends from the actuator to the actuatable device via a hole in the fire wall. The mechanical force transmitting device is configured to actuate the actuatable device by transmitting a mechanical force to the actuatable device.
