Abstract
A particle separator adapted for use with a gas turbine engine includes an adaptive-area hub, an outer wall, and a splitter. The splitter cooperates with the adaptive-area hub and the outer wall to separate particles suspended in an inlet flow moving through the particle separator to provide a clean flow of air to the gas turbine engine.
