Abstract
A gas turbine enginecomprises at least one rigid raft assembly that has a fluid passagewayat least partially embedded therein. The fluid passagewayis at least a part of a fluid system. In addition to the fluid passageway, the rigid raft assemblyalso has at least a part of another system. For example, the rigid raft assembly may also include electrical conductors, which are part of an electrical system. The rigid raft assemblymay be lighter, easier to assemble, more robust and more compact than conventional solutions for providing systems to gas turbine engines.
