HEAT SHIELDED ASSEMBLY WITH WOVEN HEAT SHIELD FOR GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS

A heat shielded assembly includes a fuel structure (106) of a combustor of a gas turbine engine and a woven heat shield (110) at least partially conformally surrounding the fuel structure and spaced from an exterior of the fuel structure by a distance where it surrounds the fuel structure. The fuel structure is configured to deliver fuel to the combustor. The woven heat shield comprises a first set of strands (112), a second set of strands (114) interwoven with the first set of strands, and a weave pattern comprising the first set of strands and the second set of strands. Each strand of the first set of strands extends in a first direction, each strand of the second set of strands extends in a second direction transverse to the first direction, and the first set of strands and the second set of strands are not attached where they intersect in the weave pattern.
