ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine operable so that, in one embodiment, by adjusting the speed of an intercooler fan, the orientation of a variable inlet guide vane, and the orientation of a variable area turbine nozzle, the conditions at the inlet of the high pressure compressor are substantially the same for an ambient air temperature within the range of 59.degree. F. and 100.degree. F. The engine, in one embodiment, includes a low pressure compressor, a high pressure compressor, and an intercooler, including a fan, for cooling air output by the low pressure compressor and supplying the cooled air to the high pressure compressor.
