ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine with first and second axial flow compressors and an intercooler therebetween is provided with a diffuser to diffuse the air flow leaving the downstream end of the first axial flow compressor at a first radial distance from the axis to the upstream end of the intercooler at a second radial distance from the axis. The diffuser comprises a first radially extending wall, a second radially extending wall and a plurality of diffuser vanes extending therebetween which define a plurality of generally radially extending diffusing passages. The vanes are wedge shaped. This arrangement provides diffusion in a short axial length.
