The vane assembly comprises a mounting base and a hub supported in spaced relationship by a plurality of supports. The inlet vanes are pivotally supported between the base and the hub and are engaged by an actuating ring. An annular sliding bearing is interposed between the actuating ring and the hub. A plurality of stationary dorsal vanes are mounted downstream and in close relationship to the main vanes to control violent back eddies of air which occur at low vane closures.
