Abstract
The fuel spray bars and a compressor air bar is disposed in the cavities of the extended vanes of the turbine exhaust case to flow a fuel/air mixture perpendicular to the gas path and the pilot burner encased in the tail cone ejects a hot stream of combustion products adjacent the fuel air mixture to ignite the mixture and the ejected compressor air serves to create a recirculation zone adjacent the apertures of the spray bars to sustain combustion during the actuation of the augmentor.
