A fuel injector including: a plurality of air swirler passages; at least one fuel supply passage arranged to supply fuel into at least one of the air swirler passages; and at least one cavity separating an exterior of the fuel supply passage from a body of the fuel injector; wherein the cavity is at least partially filled with a thermally insulating material.

Fuel injector

A fuel spray nozzle including a primary atomizer to discharge a flow of swirled atomised fuel along and around a fuel spray nozzle axis. The primary atomiser includes outer air swirler disposed radially outwardly of a fuel pre-filmer channel. A secondary atomiser disposed around the primary atomiser includes secondary inner air swirler to swirl flow along an inner air channel. The secondary inner air swirler disposed radially inwardly of a secondary fuel pre-filmer channel of the secondary atomiser. A primary outer air channel defined between the primary outer swirler and the secondary inner swirler. The secondary inner air swirler include splitter wall to separate swirling flow in the secondary inner channel from the primary flow of atomised fuel. The secondary inner air swirler includes primary cap wall integral with and extending radially inwardly from the splitter wall to direct flow from the primary outer channel inwardly towards the fuel spray.
