Abstract
A liner for a gas turbine engine is provided that includes an outer wall, an inner wall, and a plurality of structural elements disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall. The outer wall is spaced apart from the inner wall and is disposed radially outside of the inner wall. The outer wall and inner wall form an annular structure having a circumference, and an annular region disposed between the first interior surface of the outer wall and the second interior surface of the inner wall. Each of the structural elements is attached to the outer wall and the inner wall. The outer wall includes at least one inspection port extending through the outer wall configured for access to the annular region disposed between the first interior surface of the outer wall and the second interior surface of the inner wall.
