Abstract
Improvement to the starting characteristics of an annular combustor for a gas turbine engine that employs dual fuel nozzles (primary and secondary fuel flow systems) by redistributing the total fuel admitted to the nozzles in an asymmetrical pattern to deliver the requisite amount of fuel to the igniter by the primary flow system feeding fuel to that igniter.
