Abstract

A low pressure compressor section of a gas turbine engine includes low pressure compressor stages spaced apart along an axis of rotation of the low pressure compressor section. The low pressure compressor section includes at least one of a fluid conduit extending between an air inlet of the gas turbine engine and the low pressure compression stages. The fluid conduit having at least one flow diverter displaceable between a first position and a second position to modulate air through the low pressure compressor stages. And/or a compressor stage disabler is engageable with at least one of the low pressure compressor stages and configured to reduce a rotation thereof.
