An aircraft gas turbine includes a combustor that combusts compressed air and at least one fuel flow from at least one fuel source to generate combustion gases. A fuel supply system is arranged to provide at least one of a first flow of fuel to the combustor via a first fuel supply line and a second flow of a heated fuel to the combustor via a second fuel supply line. A fuel heat exchanger is arranged within the fuel supply system to generate the heated fuel that is heated above an autoignition temperature of the fuel, and a heat source communicates with the fuel heat exchanger for generating the heated fuel.
