Patent ID: 8539774

Claim:
A system for mounting fuel injectors to a gas turbine engine, the system including: an engine casing having an aperture formed therein, and a plurality of fuel injectors each having a respective flange for mounting a respective one of the fuel injectors to the casing at the aperture so that the fuel injectors extend side-by-side into the engine; wherein: each of the flanges are dismountably sealed to an inner side of the casing, the aperture and each of the flanges are configured so that, when dismounted, each fuel injector is configured to rotate into an orientation relative to the aperture which allows the respective flange to pass though the aperture and the fuel injector to be withdrawn from the casing, and each of the flanges have respective sealing formations, the sealing formations engage neighbouring flanges when the fuel injectors are mounted to the casing to close off the aperture and to form seals between the flanges.
