    摘要: A component of a gas turbine engine includes a continuous hoop portion extending at least partially around an engine central longitudinal axis of the gas turbine engine and a bolting feature extending from the hoop portion, configured for securing the component to an adjacent component. The bolting feature includes a circumferential arm extending radially and circumferentially from the hoop portion. The circumferential arm defines a radial gap between the circumferential arm and the hoop portion. The circumferential arm includes a bolt opening for installation of a bolt therethrough. A connecting leg extends radially from the hoop portion across the radial gap toward the connecting arm. An arm interlocking feature is located at the circumferential arm and is configured to radially interlock with a complementary leg interlocking feature of the connecting leg. The arm interlocking feature and the leg interlocking feature have a radial interconnect gap therebetween in a free state.

    摘要: An injector for a liquid rocket engine includes an array of injector elements. Each injector element includes a central passage and a plurality of peripheral transverse passages. The central passages are configured to provide axial injection flow and the peripheral transverse passages are configured to provide swirl injection flow about the axial injection flow. A portion of the injector elements are configured to provide the swirl injection flow in a clockwise direction and another portion of the injector elements are configured to provide the swirl injection flow in a counter-clockwise direction. The injector elements are arranged to form a plurality of circumferential rows. The injector elements of each individual circumferential row are either all of the clockwise direction or all of the counter-clockwise direction. At least one of the circumferential rows is of the clockwise direction and at least one of the circumferential rows is of the counter-clockwise direction.
