Abstract
One embodiment includes a fuel injector. The fuel injector assembly comprises a conduit for conveying fuel from a fuel inlet to a nozzle. The conduit is located in a support, with the conduit, the nozzle, and the support being a single unitary piece. A thermally compliant feature is located at the nozzle which allows the fuel injector to adjust for differential thermal expansion.
