Abstract

A combustion apparatus and duct structure for a gas turbine engine are provided. The combustion apparatus comprises a combustion system to receive fuel and air, ignite at least a portion of the fuel and air and output a stream of first combustion products and any remaining fuel and air. The combustion apparatus further comprises structure positioned adjacent to the combustion system for receiving and accelerating the first combustion products and any remaining fuel and air from the combustion system. The duct structure receives the first combustion products and any remaining fuel and air from the combustion apparatus, allows any remaining fuel and air to combust to generate second combustion products, accelerates the first and second combustion products and outputs the first and second combustion products to a first row blade assembly.
