Abstract
Improved fuel atomization for turbine engines operating at low fuel flows and at high altitudes is accomplished in an engine having an annular combustor 26 by utilizing start fuel injectors 46 provided with discharge orifices 56 and planar impingement surfaces 60 within the path of fuel discharged from the orifices 56 to provide flat sprays 62 that are generally tangential to the annular combustor 26 so as to be intercepted by an igniter 70 in a radial wall 34 of the combustor 26.
