    Abstract: A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a TOBI module that includes a TOBI housing. The TOBI housing has a slot. A vane includes a dovetail removably received within the slot. The TOBI housing includes an axially extending TOBI nozzle array. The TOBI housing includes a plenum. A cooling passage fluidly connects the plenum to the vane. The TOBI housing includes passages configured to provide cooling fluid to the vane. The TOBI housing includes a first passageway further connecting the TOBI nozzle to the plenum.

    Abstract: A structural panel for use with a gas turbine engine includes a first exterior wall, a second exterior wall, and interior walls. The first exterior wall includes a first exterior surface and a first interior surface parallel to the first exterior surface. The second exterior wall includes a second exterior surface and a second interior surface parallel to the second exterior surface. The interior walls extend from the first interior surface to the second interior surface. The interior walls are arranged to form a pattern of hexagonal cells. The pattern of hexagonal cells includes cell groups having a variation in structural strength such that at least one of the cell groups has a structural strength that is not the same as the remaining cell groups.

    Abstract: A divergent flap includes a hinge joint to connect the divergent flap to a convergent flap, a plow structure, a first wall, a second wall, and two side walls. The plow structure is at a plow end of the flap opposite the hinge joint. The first wall and the second wall each extend from the hinge joint to the plow end. The second wall is spaced apart from the first wall by the two side walls to form at least one cooling channel extending between the hinge joint and the plow end. The divergent flap is integrally formed in layer-by-layer fashion as a single piece.

    Abstract: A swirler for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler outer body with a swirler threaded section defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis. A bulkhead support shell for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler boss with a boss threaded section defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis. A combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a bulkhead support shell with a swirler boss. The combustor also includes a swirler mountable to the swirler boss at a threaded interface defined around a swirler central longitudinal axis.
