Abstract
A combustor for a gas turbine engine includes a head end section containing a fuel nozzle assembly and a liner extending downstream from the head end section to an aft frame and defining a combustion chamber therein. First injectors, disposed at a first axial location, directs a first fuel/air mixture through the liner. Second injectors, disposed at a second downstream axial location, direct a second fuel/air mixture through the liner. A compressor discharge casing, which at least partially surrounds the combustor, defines a plenum from which a first air supply is directed only to the first injectors, a second air supply is directed only to the second injectors, and a third air supply is directed only to the head end section. The second air supply is greater than each of the first air supply and the third air supply.
