Abstract

Apparatus for supplying air and fuel to a flame tube of a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine which includes primary air supply ports for supplying air under high pressure toward the center of the flame tube and fuel tubes projecting into and opening at the primary supply ports for admitting fuel for entrainment by the primary air as it passes through the primary supply ports. In certain preferred embodiments, an annular member forms a supply port, as well as a mounting arrangement for fuel tube. Preferred embodiments also include deflector baffles or plates for preventing flow of fuel from the fuel tubes into portions of the air being supplied as secondary air to the combustion chamber.
