flameout

A condition in the operation of a gas turbine engine in which the fire in the engine unintentionally goes out.

If too much fuel is sprayed into the combustors, the fire will go out, and this is called a rich flameout. If there is too little fuel, the fire will go out, and this is called a lean flameout.
