A variable vane assembly including a variable stator vane disposed in a main flow gaspath, the variable stator vane having a vane stem. The assembly also includes a case located at a radially outward location of the variable stator vane, the vane stem extending through a port of the case, the port defined by a port wall, a clearance defined by the vane stem and a port wall to allow gas from the main flow gaspath to pass therethrough. The assembly further includes a synchronization ring spaced from the case to define a gap. The assembly yet further includes a vane arm operatively coupled to a synchronization ring and to the vane stem, the vane arm redirecting gas from the main flow gaspath to the synchronization ring.

A variable vane includes a first vane portion and a second vane portion adjacent the first vane portion. The second vane portion includes a trunnion projecting outward from a radial end of the second vane portion. The second vane portion is configured to rotate about a trunnion axis of the trunnion from a first rotational position to a second rotational position.

Various methods and systems are provided for a variable geometry turbine. In one example, a system for an engine comprises a turbocharger turbine including a nozzle ring, the nozzle ring including a plurality of stationary vanes, each vane of the plurality of stationary vanes including a plurality of injection ports arranged at an outer surface of the vane and a gas supply system to supply variable gas flow to and out of the plurality of injection ports.

A variable diffuser comprises a passage, at least two vanes disposed within the passage, and at least two pennies. The passage is defined between opposing disk faces of a hub and a tip. Each of the vanes comprises a body having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The body extends between the hub face and the disk face. Each of the pennies is coupled to a respective vane body near an edge of the penny and an actuator. Rotation of at least one penny changes the orientation of the respective vane relative to the hub face.

A turbofan with a fan casing and a nacelle which comprises a fixed structure, a movable assembly with a movable cowl and a slide, which is translationally movable between an advanced position and a retreated position in which the movable cowl is moved away from the fan casing in order to define a window open between a duct and the outside of the nacelle, a plurality of blades, each being mounted rotatably on the slide, where each blade is movable between a retracted position in which the blade is outside of the duct and a deployed position in which the blade is across the duct, a set of actuators for moving the slide and an operating system configured to move each blade from the retracted position to the deployed position, and vice versa.

A combustor section of a gas turbine engine includes a combustor having a combustor inlet, and a combustor bypass passage having a passage inlet located upstream of the combustor inlet. The combustor bypass passage is configured to divert a selected bypass airflow around the combustor. A combustor bypass valve is located at the combustor bypass passage to control the selected bypass airflow along the combustor bypass passage. A method of operating a gas turbine engine, includes urging a core airflow from a compressor section toward a combustor section, flowing a first portion of the core airflow into the combustor section via a combustor inlet, and flowing a second portion of the core airflow into a combustor bypass passage via a combustor bypass valve, thereby bypassing the combustor with the second portion of the core airflow.

Guide vane adjusting device for a flow machine to rotate guide vanes, with a driveshaft, and a control ring that transmits rotation of the driveshaft to rotate the guide vanes. The driveshaft is directly coupled with one of the guide vanes to be directly rotatable by the driveshaft without the intermediary of the control ring. The directly driven guide vane is articulately coupled with the control ring via a transmission lever. The other guide vanes are indirectly rotatable with the intermediary of the control ring. The control ring is displaceable in circumferential and axial direction such that forces at coupling points between the control ring and the transmission levers coupled with the control ring run perpendicular to the transmission levers.

A variable diffuser comprises a passage, at least two vanes disposed within the passage, and at least two pennies. The passage is defined between opposing disk faces of a hub and a tip. Each of the vanes comprises a body having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The body extends between the hub face and the disk face. Each of the pennies is coupled to a respective vane body near an edge of the penny and an actuator. Rotation of at least one penny changes the orientation of the respective vane relative to the hub face.

A turbine has a turbine housing with a receiving region, a turbine wheel which is disposed in the receiving region, a duct formed by the turbine housing, through which exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine can flow and which opens into the receiving region, and a tongue slide which has a tongue which is assigned to the duct and which can be displaced relative to the turbine housing about the rotational axis such that a flow cross section of the duct can be set. The exhaust gas which flows through the duct can be guided via the flow cross section into the receiving region and can be fed to the turbine wheel. The turbine is configured as a half-axial flow turbine in which a respective flow direction runs obliquely with respect to the axial direction and obliquely with respect to the radial direction of the turbine wheel.

A variable vane assembly including a variable stator vane disposed in a main flow gaspath, the variable stator vane having a vane stem. The assembly also includes a case located at a radially outward location of the variable stator vane, the vane stem extending through a port of the case, the port defined by a port wall, a clearance defined by the vane stem and a port wall to allow gas from the main flow gaspath to pass therethrough. The assembly further includes a synchronization ring spaced from the case to define a gap. The assembly yet further includes a vane arm operatively coupled to a synchronization ring and to the vane stem, the vane arm redirecting gas from the main flow gaspath to the synchronization ring.
