Summary
Combustor Floatwall Panel

The floatwall panels for the jet engine combustors are produced in a wide variety of configurations with countergravity low- pressure vacuum (CLV) investment casting.

  • The high count and small size of the cooling pins on the panels could only be produced economically by precision investment casting.
