Abstract: The present invention relates to a blade of a turbomachine, in particular an adjustable guide blade or vane of a gas turbine, having at least one thickened area (18) on a pressure side (D) of the blade profile (P), wherein the thickened area (18) is disposed in a radially outer-lying, housing-side region of the blade (10), wherein the thickened area (18) is designed at a distance from a front edge (12) and a rear edge (14) of the blade (10).

Abstract: A compressor section of a gas turbine generally includes a stage of inlet guide vanes positioned adjacent to an inlet of the compressor section and a stage of rotor blades disposed downstream from the inlet guide vanes. A stage of stator vanes is positioned downstream from the stage of rotor blades. The stage of stator blades includes a row of leading guide vanes having a trailing edge. A row of trailing guide vanes coupled to an actuator is disposed between two corresponding adjacent leading guide vanes. Each of the trailing guide vanes includes a trailing edge. The leading edge of each trailing guide vane is disposed upstream of the trailing edge of a corresponding leading guide vane when the trailing guide vane is in an open position and downstream from the trailing edge of the corresponding leading guide vane when the trailing guide vane is in a closed position.

Abstract: A compressor is disclosed. The compressor has at least one guide vane assembly which can be adjusted to change the outflow angle, and a rotor which is connected downstream of the guide vane assembly. The guide vane assembly and rotor are arranged between a housing and a hub of the compressor. The guide vane assembly is divided in the direction of extension from the housing to the hub into two or more sections which can be radially adjusted relative to one another, or has a clearance radially in the direction of extension, the clearance allowing a substantial amount of flow to pass.

Abstract: A fan for an aircraft engine, particularly a gas turbine aircraft engine, is disclosed. The fan has a fan rotor with fan blades, which extend radially outwardly from a hub to an outer flow path wall of a fan flow path. The fan has an auxiliary rotor that is positioned upstream of the fan rotor and has auxiliary blades that extend radially outwardly from a hub and end at a distance from the outer flow path wall of the fan flow path. The auxiliary rotor and the fan rotor are designed as separate rotors, such that the auxiliary rotor can be operated at a higher speed than the fan rotor.
