    Abstract: Combustor panels including panel bodies with first and second sides, a pin array extending from the first side, wherein each pin extends a first height, has a pin diameter, and is separated from adjacent pins by a pin array separation distance. A structural protrusion extends from the first side. No pins of the pin array are located within a flashing distance that is equal to a protrusion separation distance plus half of the pin diameter, wherein a location of the pin is measured from a center point of the pin to a closest point on the exterior surface of the structural protrusion. At least one pin array extension is integrally formed with the structural protrusion, the pin array extension extending along the first side to a position that replaces a pin of the pin array that would be within the flashing distance.

    Abstract: A tube assembly that may be for a fuel nozzle of a fuel system of a gas turbine engine may have a first tube defining a first flowpath along a centerline, a second tube generally spaced radially outward from the first tube with a first void located between and defined by the first and second tubes, and a support structure located in the first void and extending between the first and second tubes. The support structure is constructed and arranged to minimize or eliminate thermal conduction between the tubes. The entire assembly may be additive manufactured as one unitary piece. One example of a method of operation may include designed-for breakage of the structural support due to thermal stresses thereby further minimizing thermal conduction between tubes.
