ABSTRACT:
A thrust augmentor for a turbofan, gas turbine engine is disclosed. Techniques for mixing and burning dissimilar density gases in a thrust augmentor are developed. In accordance with one specific teaching the flame front in a swirl augmentor is stabilized by a continuously operative pilot burner. The pilot burner is positioned in the radially outward portion of the augmentor. The pilot burner employs fuel premixing techniques and is adapted to operate at low inlet pressure levels.
