Abstract
A fuel shield is configured for use in the afterburner of a turbofan aircraft engine. The shield includes wings obliquely joined together at a nose, with each of the wings including an offset mounting tab at a proximal end thereof. The wings and tabs are configured to complement a flameholder vane around its leading edge, with the tabs contacting the vane sidewalls to offset the wings outwardly therefrom and form a thermally insulating gap therebetween.
