Abstract

See full text

A method of operating a variable guide vane assembly of an aircraft engine, the variable guide vane assembly including guide vanes rotatable about respective spanwise axes and circumferentially distributed about a central axis, the method comprising: obtaining a target exit flow angle defined between a direction of a flow exiting the guide vanes and the central axis; predicting an exit flow angle as a function of at least a geometric angle, the exit flow angle defined between the direction of the flow exiting the guide vanes and the central axis, the geometric angle defined between the guide vanes and the central axis; and when a difference between the exit flow angle and the target exit flow angle is above a threshold, modulating the guide vanes to modify the geometric angle until the difference between the exit flow angle and the target exit flow angle is at or below the threshold.
