GAS TURBINE ENGINE WITH TWO-SPOOL FAN AND VARIABLE VANE TURBINE

摘要

A gas turbine engine and a method of operating the gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes modulating a variable high pressure turbine inlet guide vane of a high pressure spool to performance match a first stage fan section of a low pressure spool and an intermediate stage fan section of an intermediate spool to maintain a generally constant engine inlet flow while varying engine thrust.
