This patent describes an air breathing turbine. It comprises a rotary compressor; a turbine wheel coupled to the compressor; a combustor between the compressor and the turbine wheel for receiving compressed air from the compressor and combusting fuel therewith to provide combustion gas to the turbine to drive the same; a plurality of angularly spaced fuel injectors; and a fuel manifold extending about the combustor; an inlet to the manifold; separate means for each the injector; and the capillary flow path means progressively further from the manifold inlet along the flow path having generally progressively less resistance to fuel flow than those closer to the manifold inlet.
