DRIVE
October 29, 2014
A gas turbine engine having high reliability is provided by suppressing occurrence of thermal stress between a scroll and a support member thereof. A gas turbine engine equipped with a combustor of a single-can type includes a scroll to guide a combustion gas fed from a combustor to a turbine while swirling the combustion gas about a rotation axis, a flange member to support the scroll with respect to the gas turbine engine from an inner peripheral side of the scroll, and a coupling member of an annular shape to couple the scroll and the flange member with each other. The scroll and the flange member are connected to the coupling member such that the scroll and the flange member are not in direct contact with each other.
