ABSTRACT:
A variable stator vane operating mechanism for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of unison rings 21,22 and 23 each connected by a drag link 18,19 and 20 respectively to a pivoting beam 14. The unison rings are connected to each of vanes 10 in a stator vane row by first arms 24. In order to minimize side loads on the unison rings by the drag links during pivoting of the beam, the beam is connected at its free end to a second arm 30 which is pivotable about an axis 28 by means of a torque tube 26 or other suitable actuator, and the length of the second arm 30 between the axis 28 and its point of connection 44 to the beam is made as nearly as possible equal to the length of the first arms 24. By this means the fore and aft movement of the beam can be matched to the fore and aft movement of the unison rings, or at least in the case of one of them, and the drag links remain substantially in the plane of the unison rings.
