In order to rapidly start turbine engines in a manner eliminating resort to complex mechanical components, an auxiliary impingement assembly is disclosed. The turbine engine will typically have a turbine rotor with impeller blades integral therewith. It will also include a combustor for producing hot gases of combustion and communicating with the turbine rotor through a turbine nozzle. The turbine engine will normally be driven by the hot gases of combustion produced by the combustor. With this arrangement, the auxiliary impingement assembly will include a self-contained independent source of hot gases which may be directed at the impeller blades to assist the combustor in starting the turbine engine.
