Zusammenfassung:A combined air turbine starter and flow control valve includes a turbine having turbine blades and a shaft rotating with the turbine blades. The turbine is received within a nozzle housing. The nozzle housing includes an inlet. A radially outwardly extending inner surface extends from the inlet and toward the turbine blades. A flow control piston is received to be movable along a rotational axis of the turbine shaft, and toward and away the radially outwardly extending surface of the nozzle housing. A control is programmed to direct a movement system to position the flow control piston relative to the radially outwardly extending surface to achieve a desired volume of airflow to the turbine blades. A gas turbine engine starting system is also disclosed.
