Abstract
Improved fuel atomization for turbine engines utilizing high viscosity fuels is accomplished in an engine having an annular combustor (26) by providing an air injector (52) which produces an air stream (50) generally tangentially directed into the combustor (26) to intersect a fuel spray or film (46) also generally tangentially directed into the combustor (26) by a fuel injector (48) to atomize fuel for ignition by an igniter (60) in an annular outer wall (34) of the combustor (26).
