Fuel injector assembly for a turbine engine

An apparatus for a turbine engine, comprising:

• an air tube including a tube centerline and an air passage extending along the tube centerline through the air tube;
• and
• a monolithic body including a splash plate and a fuel nozzle, the splash plate including a splash plate surface, the fuel nozzle projecting into the air passage and including a nozzle orifice, the fuel nozzle configured to direct fuel out of the nozzle orifice to impinge against the splash plate surface, and the nozzle orifice having an orifice width that is less than a surface width of the splash plate surface;
• and
• the splash plate arranged within the air passage such that the splash plate is
• angularly offset from the tube centerline towards an inner sidewall surface of the air tube;
• and
• configured to direct at least some of the fuel against the inner sidewall surface of the air tube.

A turbine engine, comprising:

• a structure including a fluid passage, the structure configured to direct an axial fluid flow through the fluid passage;
• and
• a monolithic body including a turbine engine case, a fuel nozzle and a splash plate;
• the turbine engine case spaced from the structure;
• the fuel nozzle projecting out from the turbine engine case towards the structure, the fuel nozzle including a nozzle orifice;
• the splash plate arranged within the fluid passage and including a splash plate surface, the splash plate projecting away from the fuel nozzle in a direction parallel with the splash plate surface to a distal end of the splash plate, and the direction extending axially along a centerline of the turbine engine away from an inlet into the turbine engine;
• and
• the fuel nozzle configured to direct fuel out of the nozzle orifice to impinge against the splash plate surface, and the splash plate configured to disperse the fuel that impinges against the splash plate surface into the axial fluid flow.
