A nozzle for feeding air and liquid fuel into a combustion chamber, has a nozzle main body aligned along an axis, and includes a first air duct running on and/or around the axis, a fuel duct, annularly encircling the first air duct and having a downstream end portion running axially-radially in a direction of the axis in a flow direction, and a second air duct, annularly encircling the fuel duct. The fuel duct has a fuel outlet opening at an adjoining substantially axially aligned film applicator surface having a downstream trailing edge, wherein the film applicator surface surrounds the first air duct at the downstream end. Fuel atomization is improved by a length of the film applicator surface between the fuel outlet opening and the trailing edge being between a factor of 5-6 times a height of the end portion of the fuel duct.
A nozzle for feeding air and liquid fuel into a combustion chamber, in particular of an engine of an aircraft, having a nozzle main body aligned along a nozzle longitudinal axis, in which the following are arranged:
