DRIVE
November 5, 2025
A nozzle assembly (40) for a gas turbine engine (10), comprising: a nozzle (80) at a downstream end of the assembly (40) relative to fuel flow (50); a first and a second body (60, 70) upstream of the nozzle (80), the first body (60) defining a first passage (68) between a first inlet (68a) connectable to a source and a first outlet (68b), and the second body (70) defining a second passage (78) between a second inlet (78a) and a second outlet (78b) in fluid communication with the nozzle (80), the first outlet and second inlet (68b, 72a) in fluid communication with each other; the bodies (60, 70) matingly engaged together along an axis (E), the first outlet and second inlet (68b, 72a) spaced apart relative to the axis (E) to define a gallery (52) having a depth in an axial direction and a width in a transverse direction; and a gap filler (100) within the gallery (52), compressible in at least one of the directions, having an uncompressed dimension greater than a corresponding dimension of the gallery (52) in the at least one of the directions.
