Abstract (en)

A combustion section for a gas turbine includes a casing (32) defining a chamber, a plurality of combustor cans (34) disposed in the casing and oriented in an annular pattern, and a plurality of transition pieces (36) each coupled with one of the combustor cans. The transition pieces direct products of combustion from the combustor cans into contact with rotating buckets of the gas turbine. Each of the transition pieces is angled in two planes to effect turning of the products of combustion and to shorten the gas turbine.
