Abstract

A gas turbine having guide blades arranged between the combustion chamber and turbine rotor is improved by the guide blades 1.1 being integrated in the respectively associated combustion chamber 1.2. That is, the guide blades 1.1 and the associated combustion-chamber wall 1.2.1 are designed essentially in one piece and are constructed as a combustion-chamber/guide-blade unit 1. The latter sits in cold supporting structures 3.1 of the gas-turbine plant 3 and both together form cooling-air passages which allow the combustion chamber to be cooled in counterflow.
