Abstract
The pilot burner for a high M.sub.N inlet burner is folded to substantially reduce the overall length of the combustor. The annular burner includes a splitter design where a diffuser surrounds the burner and connects to an outer shroud which contains the inlet of the pilot burner. Flow reverses into the pilot burner where it is directed to the primary burning zone of the combustion chamber.
