ABSTRACT:
Improved starting for turbine engines operating at low fuel flows and at high altitudes is accomplished in an engine 10 having an annular combustion 12 by utilizing a stored energy combustion system 28 which includes a source of oxidant 36 and a fuel source 38 both of which are in fluid communication with an auxiliary combustion space 32 of an auxiliary combustor 30 for combusting the oxidant and fuel to generate a gaseous fuel including secondary gases of combustion which are directed to the annular combustor 12 through a fuel injector 24 as a reactive, gaseous fuel ignitable therewithin.
