Fuel manifold block and ring with macrolaminate layers

A gas turbine engine including a fuel injector assembly for dispensing fuel into a combustion chamber of the gas turbine combustion engine, said fuel injector assembly comprising:

• an elongated, multi-layered feed strip having internal fuel passages for directing fuel through the strip from an inlet opening to an outlet opening;
• and
• a plurality of fuel injectors fluidly connected with the feed strip and with the internal fuel passages to dispense fuel.

A gas turbine combustion engine including a fuel injector assembly for dispensing fuel into a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine, said fuel injector assembly comprising:

• an elongated, multi-layered first feed strip having internal fuel passages for directing fuel through the strip from at least one inlet opening to a plurality of outlet openings, the first feed strip having an inlet end fluidly connected to a block for receiving fuel and directing fuel to the internal fuel passages;
• and
• a plurality of fuel injectors fluidly connected along the length of the first feed strip and with the internal fuel passages to dispense fuel.
