Turbine Engine Afterburner Fuel Control

Turbine Engine Afterburner Fuel Control is a component of the Engine Fuel System in aircraft and missile prime movers. It falls under the supply class of Engine Fuel System Components and belongs to the supply group of Engine Accessories.

The afterburner fuel control is responsible for regulating the flow of fuel into the afterburner section of a turbine engine. The afterburner is a device that injects additional fuel into the exhaust stream of the engine to increase thrust. It is typically used in military aircraft for short bursts of high-speed operations, such as during takeoff or combat maneuvers.

The afterburner fuel control ensures that the correct amount of fuel is delivered to the afterburner, based on the engine's operating conditions and the pilot's inputs. It is designed to maintain the desired thrust level while optimizing fuel efficiency.

Overall, the afterburner fuel control plays a crucial role in the performance and operation of turbine engines equipped with afterburners, providing the necessary control and regulation of fuel flow to enhance the engine's thrust capabilities.
