Abstract
A gas turbine engine combustion chamber has primary and secondary combustion zones. An annular secondary fuel and air mixing duct surrounds the primary combustion zone. The annular secondary fuel and air mixing duct is defined at its radially outer extremity by an annular wall. The annular wall is at least partially formed by an annular manifold. The annular manifold has a number of radially inwardly extending fuel injectors which inject fuel into the secondary fuel and air mixing duct. The annular fuel manifold is mechanically isolated from the remaining portion of the annular wall by an annular gap. The annular fuel manifold is supported from the combustor casing by a fuel supply pipe which is secured to the combustor casing and the annular fuel manifold.
