A

Active

Passive

21
Q

Where is air from the fan used in passive clearance control

A

LP turbine

22
Q

Difference between active and passive clearance control

A

Active controls the amount of air used

23
Q

If HP compressor air is used for ACC where is the air taken from

A

Intermediate stages or the last stages

24
Q

What controls and actuates active clearance control valves

A
  • ECU controlled

25
Q

What signals does the main engine control require for active clearance control

A

Altitude

N2 = 80-95%

26
Q

Function of turbine disks

Q

What is located between the two turbine disks

A

Interstage seal

28
Q

HPT root shape

A

Fir tree root

29
