Abstract:
There is described a fuel injector for a gas turbine engine. The fuel injector comprises an air passageway having an inlet region and an outlet region in fluid communication with the inlet region at an air passageway interface, the inlet region being configured to receive a flow of air from a compressor of the gas turbine engine at an air inlet, the outlet region being configured to receive the flow of air from the inlet region via the air passageway interface and discharge the flow of air to a combustor head of the gas turbine engine. The fuel injector also comprises a fuel passageway having a fuel outlet configured to discharge a flow of fuel into the combustor head. A width of the inlet region in a direction perpendicular to a centreline of the air passageway decreases continuously from the air inlet to the air passageway interface.
