Zusammenfassung:A fuel injector (23, Figure 2) for a gas turbine engine (10, Figure 1), comprising a fuel spray nozzle (26, Figure 2) with an engaging feature 40, and a burner sleeve 30 having a swirler 37 and a connecting feature (34, Figure 2). The engaging and connecting features are releasably attached, inhibiting relative movement between the nozzle (26, Figure 2) and swirler 37. The pair of engaging and connecting features may be a protrusion 40 and track, and a second pair may be located on the burner sleeve, diametrically opposite the first pair, defining a rotation axis A for the nozzle. The burner sleeve 30 may have a hole 31 for receiving the nozzle. The track may have a receiving portion 42 and a locking portion 44, together defining a movement path, wherein the locking portion defines a locking region 44. The receiving portion width may narrow to guide the protrusion. The burner sleeve may be connected to the combustor liner (33, Figure 2) via the combustor head (36, Figure 2), and the connection may permit relative axial and radial movement but inhibit rotational motion. The arrangement may comprise a nozzle stem, and a nozzle head.
