GAS TURBINE ENGINE FUEL INJECTOR WITH MULTIPLE FUEL CIRCUITS

An assembly (64) is provided for a gas turbine engine (20). This assembly (64) includes a fuel injector (62). The fuel injector (62) includes a nozzle (80) and a plurality of discrete fuel circuits (90). The discrete fuel circuits (90) include a first fuel circuit (90A), a second fuel circuit (90B) and a third fuel circuit (90C). The nozzle (80) extends axially along an axis (84) to a nozzle tip (86). The first fuel circuit (90A) includes a first fuel outlet (94A) disposed at the nozzle tip (86). The second fuel circuit (90B) includes a plurality of second fuel outlets (94B) arranged circumferentially about the axis (84) at the nozzle tip (86) in a second fuel outlet array. The third fuel circuit (90C) includes a plurality of third fuel outlets (94C) arranged circumferentially about the axis (84) at the nozzle tip (86) in a third fuel outlet array.
