1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of turbine vanes having a plurality of fluid injectors configured to inject at least a fuel within a turbine stage; and
a plurality of turbine blades within the turbine stage, the plurality of turbine blades having a plurality of flame stabilizers configured to stabilize flames from combustion of the fuel, wherein the plurality of fluid injectors and the plurality of flame stabilizers are configured to distribute a heat release from the flames via different axial positioning of the flames over an axial length of the plurality of turbine blades.
