variable-angle stator vanes

variable-angle stator vanes
Compressor stator vanes whose angle can be varied. The angle is controlled by the fuel-control unit. Varying the stator-vane angle ensures that the air directed to the first stage of the compressor meets the compressor at an optimum angle and thus minimizes the possibility of a compressor stall.
