CMC COMBUSTOR SHELL WITH INTEGRAL CHUTES

摘要

A combustion assembly for a gas turbine engine may be provided. The combustion assembly may include a ceramic matrix composite combustor shell, which may include a chamber defined by a wall of the ceramic matrix composite combustor shell, and the ceramic matrix composite combustor shell may include a ceramic matrix composite chute integral with the ceramic matrix composite combustor shell. The ceramic matrix composite chute may extend towards a midline of the chamber. A method for fabricating a ceramic matrix composite chute may be provided. At least one chute may be woven in three dimensions into a ceramic preform. A layup tool may be inserted into the chute. The chute may be enlarged with the layup tool. The ceramic preform may be formed into a ceramic matrix composite body, which includes a combustor shell and the chute.
