Slanted loading for line replaceable multipoint fuel injector arrays

A system comprising:

• an engine case for a gas turbine engine defined around a longitudinal axis, wherein a plurality of access openings are defined through the engine case for access from outside the engine case to a space inside the engine case;
• a combustor housed in the space inside the engine case, wherein the combustor includes an inner annular wall and an outer annular wall radially outboard from the inner annular wall, wherein the inner annular wall includes a first rail on an upstream end of the inner annular wall with a radially outward opening slot, wherein the outer annular wall includes a second rail on an upstream end of the outer annular wall, and wherein the combustor includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart dome liners extending from the first rail to the second rail, wherein each dome liner in the plurality of circumferentially spaced apart dome liners extends tangentially in a direction oblique relative to a radius extending from the longitudinal axis so a point where the dome liner meets the second rail is circumferentially offset from a point where the dome liner meets the first rail;
• and
• a plurality of fuel injector components assembled across the first and second rails to form a combustor dome together with the plurality of circumferentially spaced apart dome liners at an upstream end of a combustion space defined between the inner and outer annular walls of the combustor,
• wherein each access opening of the engine case is covered by a radially outward flange of a respective one of the fuel injector components, wherein the radially outward flange includes one or more manifold tubes extending circumferentially therethrough.
