Abstract
A turbine with a variable inlet guide vane assembly in which the vane airfoils extend between inner and outer buttons, and in which a center of rotation of the airfoil is located aft of an aerodynamic center of pressure of the airfoil. The trailing edge of the airfoil extends into both of the buttons such that no gap is formed between the airfoil trailing edge region and a static part of the turbine during movement of the airfoil from an opened position to a closed position.
