Abstract
A double wall structured combustor having an outer wall having an inner surface and an outer surface and an inner wall comprising a plurality of tiles. Each tile has at least one interlocking member at a first wall and at least one interengaging member at a second wall. The interlocking member extending through an aperture in the outer wall, and the interengaging member at the second wall engaging with a cutaway section in the first wall of an adjacent tile. On assembly of the combustion chamber, the interlocking members and interengaging members of the tiles ensure lower profile fixings and an overall reduction in number of conventional fasteners used.
