First Claim
Patent Images
1. A turbine engine augmentor comprising:
- a centerbody within a gas flowpath from upstream to downstream;
a plurality of vanes positioned in the gas flowpath outboard of the centerbody;
an augmenter fuel conduit extending through a first of the vanes to deliver fuel to the centerbody; and
an electrographitic carbon bushing, the augmentor fuel conduit mounted to an engine static structure via the electrographitic carbon bushing, the electrographitic carbon bushing being in longitudinally sliding engagement with the augmentor fuel conduit so that the electrographitic carbon bushing guides the augmentor fuel conduit relative to the static structure.

Abstract
A gas turbine engine augmentor has a centerbody within a gas flowpath from upstream to downstream. A plurality of vanes are positioned in the gas flowpath outboard of the centerbody. An augmenter fuel conduit extends through a first of the vanes to deliver fuel to the centerbody. An electrographitic carbon bushing guides and supports the augmentor fuel conduit.
