ABSTRACT:
A system for re-igniting an aircraft gas turbine jet engine which has flamed out, using a plurality of electromagnetic wave powered plasma plume igniters in an intermittent mode to avoid compressor stall, and bootstrap the engine back up to normal operating conditions. The system uses electromagnetic wave powered plasma plume igniters to provide a source of thermal energy to ignite fuel, and the Fully Automatic Digital Engine Control (FADEC) which is a standard component on aircraft using aircraft gas turbine jet engines, to control the igniter operation preventing compressor stall during the re-ignition process.
