Abstract
An injector of a radial fuel injection system for a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes a swirler; and a fuel nozzle located within the swirler, the fuel nozzle located within the swirler, the fuel nozzle operable to provide a biased radial fuel distribution within the swirler. A method of controlling a fuel flow to a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes selectively controlling a biased radial fuel distribution within a swirler of a radial fuel injection system.
