Abstract
A gas turbine with axially mutually displaceable guide parts that compensates for differing amounts of thermal expansion, comprising guide parts which can be displaced with respect to one another in the axial direction and enclose a funnel-like gas duct from outside. In order to optimize a rotor blade tip gap, at least one of the funnel-like guide parts under control by means of a motor can be displaced. As a result of the axial displacement, because of the funnel-like shape of the guide parts, the width of the rotor blade tip gap is changed.
