IMPROVED OPERABILITY GEARED TURBOFAN ENGINE INCLUDING COMPRESSOR SECTION VARIABLE GUIDE VANES

摘要

A gas turbine engine has a fan which includes a plurality of fan blades that are rotatable about an axis, and a compressor section, where the combustor section includes a first compressor and a second compressor aft of the first compressor. At least one first variable guide vane controls operation of the first compressor and at least one second variable guide vane controls operation of the second compressor. A combustor is in fluid communication with the compressor section and a turbine section is in fluid communication with the combustor. A geared architecture is driven by the turbine section for rotating the fan about the axis.
