1. A combustor liner for a turbine engine comprising:
- an inner liner surface operable to define at least part of a combustion chamber in a turbine engine, wherein the inner liner surface has a shape defined by a chordal arc and extends along the chordal arc, and wherein a wall of the combustion liner is disposed on a first side of said chordal arc;
a bearing surface operable to support a floating dome panel, wherein at least part of said bearing surface is spaced from said chordal arc on a second side of said chordal arc opposite said first side;
a liner portion defining said inner liner surface and having an outer surface opposite said inner liner surface;
a hanger portion fixed relative to said liner portion and including a first arm extending to a first distal end defining said bearing surface;
wherein said hanger portion further comprises a second arm extending to a second distal end spaced from said first distal end; and
wherein said first and second arms initially extend away from said chordal arc in opposite directions.

13. A turbine engine comprising:
-
a floating dome panel encircling a centerline axis of the turbine engine; and at least one combustor liner including; an inner liner surface operable to define at least part of a combustion chamber, wherein the inner liner surface has a shape defined by a chordal arc and extends along the chordal arc, and wherein a wall of the combustion liner is disposed on a first side of said chordal arc; a bearing surface operable to support said floating dome panel, wherein at least part of said bearing surface is spaced from said chordal arc on a second side of said chordal arc opposite said first side, wherein said floating dome panel is slidable along said bearing surface in a direction having a radial directional component relative to the centerline axis; and a hanger portion having a first arm extending to a first distal end defining said bearing surface and a second arm extending to a second distal end spaced from said first distal end, wherein the first and second arms initially extend away from said chordal arc in opposite directions. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
