Flamespreading velocities exceeding conventional turbulent flamespreading values were demonstrated in a strong centrifugal flow field. This centrifugal flow field flamespreading concept was integrated into an F100 turbofan engine afterburner by introducing swirling airflow into the afterburner. Successful tests were conducted on F100 Engine P072 at sea level and at altitude conditions in a test chamber. This paper summarizes the design approach, engine design verification tests and performance data. Engine tests showed the swirl afterburner increased fuel-air capability improving combustion stability at adverse conditions for combustion in the engine flight envelope. No engine performance or durability degradation was observed.
