A component for a gas turbine engine includes an airfoil, including therein a first cavity and a second cavity, and an outer spindle extending from the airfoil, the outer spindle including a first channel in fluid communication with the first cavity and a second channel in fluid communication with the second cavity.

A vane for turbomachinery, such as, for example, an aircraft turbojet or turbofan engine, or an aircraft turboprop engine. The vane includes: (i) a first deicing fluid flow circuit inside the vane; (ii) a second deicing fluid flow circuit inside the vane; and (iii) a selector for directing the majority of the fluid towards the first circuit when the turbomachinery is in a first operating state, and for directing the majority of the fluid towards the second circuit when the turbomachinery is in a second operating state.

A guide vane ring for a turbomachine minimizes a leakage flow that passes through a recess (11) into which a guide vane disk is inserted. It has a guide vane row having a plurality of guide vanes (20), each having a vane airfoil (24) and a vane disk (21), as well as an inner ring (10) having an inner ring surface (12) facing the plurality of guide vanes. Viewed in the direction (R) of a designated primary flow streaming through the turbomachine, the vane disks (21) have a front and a rear surface region (22a, 22b). In a nominal and/or a maximum open position of the guide vanes, the front and/or the rear surface region (22a, 22b) of at least one of the vane disks has an offset (31a, 31b) from the inner ring surface (12) that is radially disposed (relative to a central axis (X) of the inner ring (10)).

An aspect includes a method of variable cycle compensation in a gas turbine engine. An electric component can be adjusted to compensate for a power change induced by an actuation system by operating the electric component as an electric motor to compensate for an increase in power absorption or a decrease in power production of a turbomachinery of the gas turbine engine. The actuation system is configured to adjust a variable cycle of the turbomachinery by adjusting power absorption or power production, and the electric component can be configured to add or subtract torque to a shaft of the gas turbine engine. The electric component can be operated as an electric generator to compensate for an increase in power production or a decrease in power absorption of the turbomachinery.
