  • Protecting the operating margin of a gas turbine engine having variable vanes from aerodynamic distortion
    Patent number: 9194301
    Abstract: A method of protecting operating margin of the gas turbine engine includes calculating an aerodynamic distortion of air entering an inlet of a gas turbine engine that has a compressor section with variable vanes that are movable subject to a control parameter. The control parameter is selectively modified in response to the aerodynamic distortion.
