Claim 9:
10. A liner for a combustor of a gas turbine engine, the gas turbine engine defining a longitudinal centerline extending in a longitudinal direction, a radial direction extending orthogonally outward from the longitudinal centerline, and a circumferential direction extending concentrically around the longitudinal centerline, the liner comprising:
an annular body configured to at least partially define a combustion chamber of the combustor, wherein the annular body comprises:
a dilution slot extending to the combustion chamber; and
a looped feature extending outward from an outer surface of the liner, the looped feature configured to absorb deflection during thermal expansion of the liner, the looped feature having:
a first portion extending generally in the longitudinal direction;
a second portion positioned radially outward and substantially parallel to the first portion;
a radially extending portion coupling the liner to the second portion, the radially extending portion extending through the dilution slot from a location radially outward of the liner to a location radially inward of the liner; and
a radially outer window extending through the second portion, the radially outer window configured to pass cooling medium to the combustion chamber.
