Abstract
A centrifugal compressor impeller for gas turbine engines designed to efficiently operate at both part-speed and full speed design points includes slanted vanes in a secondary air inlet to the impeller. The vanes are tangentially slanted in the direction of rotation of the impeller to preferentially augment airflow into the impeller at maximum speed, while at part-speed discouraging airflow out of its impeller through the secondary inlet.
