Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

Variable cycle is not simply a question of varying the by-pass ratio. The key achievement would be to control the power, speed and temperature of an engine independently and the most difficult element is to modify turbine operation, perhaps with controllable turbine guide vanes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
CONT

Le cycle variable quant à lui, ne se limite pas simplement à faire varier le taux de dilution. L'objectif véritable est de commander séparément la puissance, la vitesse de rotation et la température de fonctionnement d'un moteur, et la difficulté essentielle est d'agir sur le fonctionnement de la turbine.
