Torch igniter for a combustor

An igniter for a combustor of a turbomachine includes a fuel inlet in fluid communication with a mixing plenum. The mixing plenum is positioned upstream of a mixing channel. An air inlet is in fluid communication with the mixing plenum and an ignition source is in operative communication with the mixing channel. The igniter may include a mounting flange configured for coupling the igniter to the combustor. The ignition source may be positioned proximate to a downstream end of the mixing channel and upstream of the mounting flange. The mixing channel may define a venturi shape. The venturi shape includes a converging section between an upstream end of the mixing channel and a venturi throat.

Aircraft component and aircraft gas-turbine engine

An aircraft component is used for an aircraft gas-turbine engine. The aircraft component includes an annular part, a flange, and a boss. The annular part has an outer circumferential surface. The flange is formed at one end portion of the annular part in an axial direction. The boss projects from the outer circumferential surface of the annular part to the radial direction. On a section cut along an axial direction of the annular part, the outer circumferential surface of the annular part between the flange and the boss has a taper part that is formed into a tapered shape in which plate thickness becomes thicker from the flange toward the boss.
