ABSTRACT:
A supersonic combustion air breathing jet engine and method of igniting fuel. The engine has means for providing a spatially controlled combustion distribution of fuel with an ignitor that provides a volumetrically diffuse discharge of energy to initiate a controlled relatively rapid combustion of fuel in a combustion zone such that combustion distribution in relatively high speed gas flows through the combustion zone can be initiated and controlled without dependence upon a flame holder or relatively high local static gas temperature in the combustion zone.
