The flame stabilizer includes multiple gutters each configured to generate a flame stabilization area for the flame on its downstream side. Each gutter is formed from: a curved apex section having a stagnation point; and flat plate-shaped side surface sections integrally formed on the respective two sides of the apex section. Each gutter has a V-shaped cross-sectional shape which is opened to the downstream side. At least one through-hole is formed only in each side surface section of each gutter.
An afterburner configured to increase thrust of an aircraft engine by burning a mixed gas of a combustion gas discharged from a core passage of the aircraft engine and air discharged from a fan passage of the aircraft engine again while supplying fuel to the mixed gas, the afterburner comprising:
