    Abstract: An example valve for controlling airflow to an engine includes an actuator with an actuator arm that moves between extended and retracted positions, and a valve housing defining an airflow passage extending between a first housing opening and a second housing opening. The airflow passage has an axis X. The example valve also includes at least one finger within the valve housing. Movement of the actuator arm causes radial movement of the finger relative to the axis X, and the finger moves between a position that provides a restricted flow of air through the airflow passage, and a position that provides a greater flow of air through the airflow passage.
