Zusammenfassung:A turbine engine includes, in a serial flow relationship, an axially oriented compressor, a combustion section, a turbine section, and an exhaust section. An air flowpath extends from an inlet duct to the exhaust section such that the compressor, combustion section, turbine, and the exhaust section are in fluid communication. The inlet duct is positioned upstream of the compressor and defines an inlet portion of the air flowpath. The inlet duct is generally radially oriented. A variable inlet guide vane extends at least partially through the inlet duct.
