Abstract
A turbine engine including a fan having a plurality of fan blades, a turbo-engine positioned downstream of the fan and having a core inlet, an engine intake that extends to the core inlet, and a variable engine intake system. Air enters the turbine engine through the engine intake. The variable engine intake system includes a plurality of wind condition sensors for sensing wind conditions about the turbine engine, and a controller. The plurality of wind condition sensors includes a first wind condition sensor on a first side of the turbine engine and a second wind condition sensor on a second side of the turbine engine. The controller adjusts the engine intake based on the wind conditions about the turbine engine from the first wind condition sensor and the second wind condition sensor.
