Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Combustion Chamber
Item Name Code (INC) 50337
![]() |
The portion of an ENGINE, GAS TURBINE, AIRCRAFT in which fuel is burned. It may be an annular type in which the space between the circular inner and outer cylinders form the burning chamber or it may be the multi-arrangement can type in which separate can like burn cylinders are positioned in a circular arrangement within an inner and outer case.
Additional Information for Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine Combustion Chamber
Aircraft gas turbine engine combustion chambers are a crucial component of gas turbines and jet engines used in aircraft. They are part of the supply class "Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components" in the supply group "Engines, Turbines, And Components."
The combustion chamber is responsible for the combustion process in the engine. It is where fuel is mixed with compressed air and ignited to produce high-temperature and high-pressure gases. These gases then expand and pass through the turbine, generating thrust to propel the aircraft.
The combustion chamber must be designed to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures while efficiently burning fuel. It is typically made of heat-resistant materials, such as ceramics or high-temperature alloys, to ensure durability and performance.
The design of the combustion chamber plays a crucial role in achieving optimal fuel efficiency, emissions control, and engine performance. It must provide efficient mixing of fuel and air, promote complete combustion, and minimize the formation of pollutants.
Overall, the aircraft gas turbine engine combustion chamber is a critical component that contributes to the safe and efficient operation of aircraft engines.
