ABSTRACT:
A fuel injector for a gas turbine engine is disclosed that includes an injector body having a bore, a fitting at an inlet end of the injector body for receiving fuel, an atomizer at an outlet end of the injector body for delivering atomized fuel to a combustor of the gas turbine engine, a fuel tube disposed within the bore of the injector body for delivering fuel from the fitting to the atomizer, the fuel tube having an inlet end portion adjacent the fitting and an outlet end portion joined to the atomizer, and structure joined to the inlet end portion of the fuel tube to compensate for thermal growth of the injector body relative to the fuel tube during engine operation.
