Fuel manifold and fuel injector arrangement for a combustion chamber

A fuel manifold and fuel injector arrangement for supplying fuel to at least one combustion chamber comprising an annular combustion chamber casing arranged around the at least one combustion chamber,

• a plurality of circumferentially spaced fuel injectors arranged to supply fuel into the at least one combustion chamber, each fuel injector having a fuel feed arm extending through a corresponding aperture in the annular combustion chamber casing,
• a fuel manifold arranged to supply fuel to each of the fuel injectors, the fuel manifold comprising a plurality of flexible fuel pipes and a plurality of T piece connectors,
• each T piece connector comprising a stem and two parallel arms extending in opposite directions from the stem, the stem of each T piece connector being mounted on an outer end of a respective one of the fuel feed arms,
• each flexible fuel pipe interconnecting an arm of one T piece connector with an arm of an adjacent T piece connector, each T piece connector being arranged such that the arms are arranged at an angle relative to a plane perpendicular to the axis of the annular combustion chamber casing such that the fuel manifold extends around the combustion chamber casing sinusoidally,
• the fuel manifold additionally comprising two L piece connectors, each L piece connector being arranged at a respective end of the fuel manifold, each L piece connector comprising a stem and an arm extending from the stem, the stem of each L piece connector being mounted on an outer end of a respective one of the fuel feed arms and one of the flexible fuel pipes interconnecting an arm of one T piece connector with an arm of an adjacent L piece connector, and the L piece connectors being arranged at an upper half of the annular combustion chamber casing.
