A combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine is disclosed as having a high density, i.e., greater number than normal, of fuel injection and flame stabilization points. Additionally, a dome passageway is sized to receive and deliver directly to the combustion zone, as primary air flow, a much higher percent of total compressor discharge air at a much higher velocity than in prior art combustors of the same approximate size. A baffle is positioned transversely of the primary air passage to define the upstream end of the combustion zone and to define the fuel injection and flame stabilization points. Combining the above features results in a highly efficient, smoke free combustor having a shortened primary combustion zone.
