An ejector, which finds particular application as a fuel injector for a gas turbine engine, has an axially located passage ending as a nozzle having an internal surface facing radially inwardly towards the axis and which extends as an outboard cone about the axis of the passage and which terminates at a tip. The cone has a profile which replicates the unconstrained trajectory of the fuel leaving the passage. The outer surface of the ejector has a profile for accelerating a gaseous flow over the outer surface. Atomisation of fuel is improved along with relight capability, flame extinction and smoke production. |
