The ignition of kerosine fuel sprays in a flowing air stream was studied experimentally. Ignition was accomplished using electrical sparks whose energy level could be varied in steps between 19.3 and 130 millijoules. Tests were carried out at air velocities up to 46 metres/second on five simplex swirl atomizers designed to produce fuel drops ranging from 30 to 120 microns in diameter.
