A fuel feed method and apparatus for a turboramjet engine having a combustion chamber operable as a turbine engine afterburner and as ramjet engine combustion chamber is disclosed which features the concurrent injection of kerosene and hydrogen. At low Mach numbers, kerosene is the predominant fuel injected, while at growing speeds, hydrogen is injected in increasing proportions. This provides for a short combustion chamber length while minimizing the on-board fuel load and benefits especially small-size hypersonic aircraft.

Fuel feed method and apparatus for a turboramjet engine

A muilti-stage turbine having shrouded turbine blades which has a stationary guide grid arranged between the rotor shroud and the turbine casing. By virtue of the construction of the guide grid, leakage and cooling air (escape air) of the rotor blade can be adapted to the low whirl of the main stream passing through the rotor to effectively prevent misaligned entry into the following turbine stage.
