Abstract

A gas fuel nozzle for mounting in a combustor wall of a gas turbine engine, with an at least partially radially-directed array of gas fuel outlets extending beyond an air flow head having an array of compressed air jet apertures around the gas fuel outlets. The air flow head also has a deflector for creating an axial flow of air for deflecting in an axial direction the radially-injected gas fuel.
