Abstract: A fuel injector comprises one or more elongate fuel passages (802) having an elongate axis extending from an upstream inlet end to a downstream outlet end. One or more outlets (803) are provided at the outlet end and extend obliquely with respect to the elongate axis. The elongate fuel passage is defined by an inner skin of a double skinned pipe, the double skinned pipe defining a first annular cavity (804) between the inner skin and outer skin. The inner skin and the outer skin converge adjacent the one or more outlets (803) to form a nose (808). A bridge is arranged within the fuel passage (802) and upstream of the nose (808), the bridge comprising a plurality of arms (811) extending radially from a centre (812) to a wall of the fuel passage (802), the centre (812) arranged in axial alignment with a centre of the nose (808).
