Abstract
A turbine is stabilized in high speed, high altitude flight conditions by reducing the maximum augmenter fuel/air ratio in response to certain pressure and temperature conditions. Temperatures and pressures indicative of those at the combustor are sensed and the augmenter fuel schedule is accordingly modified to a level which provides reduced fuel/air ratios and stable burning conditions.
