Abstract
Integration of separate ceramic parts and metal parts to form a unified combustor is described. The flame holding portion and any other portion where air is introduced into the combustor are made of metal while insulated, imperforate ceramic construction is used for the balance of the combustor liner. In this manner the regions of high local stress are accommodated by cooled metal and the regions of uniform thermal stress are accommodated by resiliently-mounted thermally-insulated ceramic.
