Zusammenfassung:A method enables a combustor for a gas turbine engine to be assembled. The method includes coupling an inner liner to an outer liner such that a combustion chamber is defined therebetween, wherein the outer liner is fabricated from a plurality of panels coupled together, and coupling an outer support radially outward from the outer liner such that an outer passageway is defined between the outer liner and the outer support, wherein the outer support is configured to channel cooling air from the outer passageway towards at least a portion of the outer liner.
