Abstract
A fuel injector assembly designed to withstand a predetermined impact load resulting from ingestion of a bird or other foreign object into the combustion stage of a gas turbine engine comprises a body member adapted to be mounted adjacent to and to extend into the combustion chamber and an abutment member disposed downstream of the injector assembly in the direction of air flow through the combustion stage, the arrangement being such that the body member moves into contact with the abutment member when subjected to an impact load in excess of the impact load it is designed to withstand.
