A gas turbine engine comprising:
- a combustion section enshrouded by a casing having at least one through passage, the combustion section comprising:
- a dome wall and a liner at least partially defining a combustion chamber;
- a fuel nozzle connected to the dome wall and having a nozzle tube;
- and
- a coupling securing the fuel nozzle with an inner surface of the casing and disposed at least partially in the at least one through passage;
- wherein the coupling includes a flange disposed at the inner surface of the casing, a first shaft engaged with the flange, and a second shaft disposed at least partially around the first shaft and engaged with the flange.
A fuel nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine, the fuel nozzle assembly comprising:
- a first shaft including a first fluid passage;
- a flange connected to the first shaft and including a second fluid passage fluidly coupled with the first fluid passage;
- a nozzle tube connected to the flange and including a third fluid passage fluidly coupled with the second fluid passage, the nozzle tube disposed at a first side of the flange;
- a second shaft connected to the flange, the first shaft disposed at least partially in the second shaft;
- and
- a nut disposed at a second side of the flange, the second side opposite the first side.
