Purged flameholder fuel shield

摘要

A fuel shield (68) is configured for use in the afterburner (34) of a turbofan aircraft engine (10). The shield (68) includes wings (72,74) obliquely joined together at a nose (76) to conform with the leading edge region (52) of a flameholder vane (42). A hood (78) is joined to the wings (72,74) and extends obliquely therefrom to conform with a supporting outer shell (44) of the flameholder (34).
