Fuel nozzle providing shaped fuel spray

摘要

A fuel injection nozzle (24) for a gas turbine engine has a central fuel ejection nozzle (34) and a plurality of airflow passages within the spray tip that include a first (40) and second (50) group of circumferentially spaced apart fuel-spray forming airflow passages disposed on opposite sides of a transverse axis (42) and oriented towards each other such as to produce opposed fuel spray shaping air jets (23) which generate a shaped final fuel spray (90).
