Variable geometry turbocharger — Variable geometry turbochargers (VGTs) are a family of turbochargers, usually designed to allow the effective aspect ratio (sometimes called A/R Ratio) of the turbo to be altered as conditions change. This is done because optimum aspect ratio at… … Wikipedia
variable-inlet guide vane — A gas turbine engine in which the angle of the inlet guide vanes can be changed to meet the requirements of the engine operating conditions. These are normally in front of the first stage of an axial compressor and sometimes in the subsequent… … Aviation dictionary
Variable Cycle Engine — In a Variable Cycle Engine (VCE) the engine cycle is deliberately modified from that which would occur under normal circumstances.The next generation of Supersonic transport (SST) may require some form of VCE. SST engines require a high Specific… … Wikipedia
variable-angle stator vanes — Compressor stator vanes whose angle can be varied. The angle is controlled by the fuel control unit. Varying the stator vane angle ensures that the air directed to the first stage of the compressor meets the compressor at an optimum angle and… … Aviation dictionary
variable pitch stator — A stator that has vanes that may be adjusted to various angles depending on load conditions. The vane adjustment will increase or decrease the efficiency of the stator … Dictionary of automotive terms
inlet guide vanes — Fixed or variable vanes, also known as stators, located in front of the first stage of the compressor of a gas turbine engine. These guide vanes direct the air onto the compressor at the correct angle. Also called intake guide vanes … Aviation dictionary

Components of jet engines — Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the fan blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which… … Wikipedia
Turbofan — [ CFM56 3 turbofan, lower half, side view.] A turbofan is a type of jet engine, similar to a turbojet. It essentially consists of a ducted fan with a smaller diameter turbojet engine mounted behind it that powers the fan. Part of the airstream… … Wikipedia
turbine — /terr bin, buyn/, n. any of various machines having a rotor, usually with vanes or blades, driven by the pressure, momentum, or reactive thrust of a moving fluid, as steam, water, hot gases, or air, either occurring in the form of free jets or as … Universalium
