    Abstract: A combustor including a skeleton structure. The combustor further includes at least one liner operably coupled to the skeleton structure to at least partially define a combustion chamber, and a plurality of first planks mounted to a first side of the at least one liner and a plurality of second planks mounted to a second side of the at least one liner. The combustor also includes at least one dilution hole structure provided with a portion of the skeleton structure, and including at least one dilution hole configured to allow fluid to pass therethrough into the combustion chamber.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor rotor shaft assembly, an accessory gearbox, and a bowed-rotor mitigation drive device drivingly coupled with the accessory gearbox. The bowed-rotor mitigation drive device is driven during an engine startup phase so as to induce a mechanical load (mechanical energy) to the bowed-rotor mitigation drive device. The mechanical load (mechanical energy) is retained within the bowed-rotor mitigation drive device during operation of the gas turbine engine. The mechanical load (mechanical energy) retained within the bowed-rotor mitigation drive device is periodically released by the bowed-rotor mitigation drive device in a plurality of periods so as to provide, in each period, a driving force to the accessory gearbox, which provides the driving force to the compressor rotor shaft assembly to periodically rotate the compressor rotor shaft assembly.
