Fuel distribution manifold

A fuel distribution manifold (116) comprises an outer shell (130) having an inner surface (152). The outer shell (130) defines an inlet (134) for receiving fuel from a parent supply (120) line, a base (140) opposite the inlet (134), a central manifold axis (132) that intersects the inlet (134), and a plurality of outlets (136) for delivering fuel to offspring fuel lines (138), each outlet (136) defining a respective outlet axis (156). In one exemplary embodiment, a fuel distribution manifold also comprises a center-body (142) having an outer surface (150) and being positioned within the outer shell (130) wherein the outer surface (150) of the center-body (142) and the inner surface (152) of the outer shell (130) define a flow-path (154) through which fluid flows from the inlet (134) to the plurality of outlets (136). In another exemplary embodiment, at least one of the outlets (136) is positioned adjacent to the base (140) and oriented so that its respective outlet axis (156) is rotated relatively to a radial direction that intersects the central manifold axis (132).
