- Problems Solved
- Aerodynamic instability
- Acoustic noise associated with variable bleed valves
- Benefits
- Improved aerodynamic stability
- Reduced acoustic noise
- Enhanced performance of variable bleed valves
Original Abstract Submitted
variable bleed valves with struts for aerodynamic stability are described. an apparatus described herein includes a variable bleed valve port, and a strut disposed within the variable bleed valve port, the strut defining a plane and a plurality of holes disposed perpendicularly to the plane, the plurality of holes disposed in a pattern to dampen an acoustic response associated with the variable bleed valve port.
