1. A fuel manifold and fuel injector arrangement for supplying fuel to at least one combustion chamber comprising
an annular combustion chamber casing arranged around the at least one combustion chamber, a plurality of circumferentially spaced fuel injectors arranged to supply fuel into the at least one combustion chamber, each fuel injector having a fuel feed arm extending through a corresponding aperture in the annular combustion chamber casing, a fuel manifold arranged to supply fuel to each of the fuel injectors, the fuel manifold comprising a plurality of flexible fuel pipes and a plurality of T piece connectors,
each T piece connector comprising a stem and two parallel arms extending in opposite directions from the stem, the stem of each T piece connector being mounted on an outer end of a respective one of the fuel feed arms,each flexible fuel pipe interconnecting an arm of one T piece connector with an arm of an adjacent T piece connector,each T piece connector being arranged so that the adjacent arms of two adjacent T pieces are both angled inwards towards or both an led outwards from a plane perpendicular to the axis of the annular combustion chamber casing such that the fuel manifold extends around the combustion chamber casing sinusoidally. |
