ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine with a rotor shaft that is moveable in an axial direction so change a blade tip clearance, where the rotor is displaced by a spring to increase the blade tip clearance and is displaced by a pressure created by the compressor and turbine during engine operation that will close the blade tip clearance. This is especially useful during engine shutdown to prevent blade tip rubbing against the stationary shrouds.
