Abstract
An improved spark igniter for use in a gas turbine engine wherein vent passages which are in the vicinity of the electrode are placed in communication with the ambient environment external to the engine during the ignition sequence causing fuel-air mixture to flow over the electrode as it is abstracted from the engine, thereby enhancing the probability of ignition.
