ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is provided for improving efficiency of a transonic gas turbine engine compressor by bleeding off a shockwave-induced boundary layer from the gas flow passage of the compressor using an array of bleed holes having a downstream edge aligned with a foot of an oblique shock wave which originates on the leading edge of an adjacent transonic rotor blade tip.
