C-2888 D-1316 AFTERBURNER WITH FLAME PROPAGATION VANES Abstract of the Disclosure A short length afterburner assembly for a jet pro- pulsion engine having a fan bypass includes cold and hot air cross-over passages and a plurality of flame stabilization swirler vanes associated with a balanced load controller for positioning the vanes parallel to hot gas stream flow from a jet engine core when the afterburner is off and in an inclined position to such gas stream flow when fuel is injected therein during afterburner operation thereby to produce flame spread within the afterburner core by a combination of translatory and swirling motions; and wherein atomized fuel for afterburner combustion is injected into hot gases ducted through hot air cross-over passages from the jet engine core to produce premix and prevaporization of fuel upstream of fixed flameholders and wherein cold fan bypass air cross-over passages have movable turbulator grids positioned during afterburner operation for mixing cold air flow with the bypassed hot core gas at the fixed flameholders during afterburner operation and wherein the turbulator grids are positioned parallel to gas flow when the afterburner is not in operation by means of the balanced load controller to produce a balanced variable geometry mechanical load to that on the flame stabilization swirler vanes. * * * * * *
