The 22-blade fan of an A320's V2500-A1 Rolls-Royce based the ten-stage high-pressure compressor on an eight-stage run in the RB401 in the mid 1970's followed by a nine-stage run in the RJ.500 . The V.2500 would use ten stages, with the first four with variable stators, giving a pressure ratio of 20:1. [ 4 ]
The turbine blades have a golden colour in this engine cutaway. A turbine blade is a radial aerofoil mounted in the rim of a turbine disc and which produces a tangential force which rotates a turbine rotor. [2] Each turbine disc has many blades. [3] As such they are used in gas turbine engines and steam turbines.
Blade solidity affects various turbomachinery parameters, so to vary those parameters, one needs to vary blade solidity. However, there are some limitations imposed by aspect ratio (span/chord) and pitch. If an impeller has only a few blades (i.e a large pitch), it will result in less lift force and in a similar manner for more blades (i.e ...
During the 1990s, a third generation Fenestron was produced by Eurocopter (Aérospatiale's multinational successor), equipped with unevenly-spaced blades in order to optimize its noise levels; this unit was first fitted onto the company's EC135 helicopter, and was later incorporated into the designs of the EC130 and the EC145, the latter of ...

Blade tip clearances are more difficult to maintain at the exit of the high-pressure compressor where blades are 0.5 in (13 mm) high or less; backbone bending further affects clearance control as the core is proportionately longer and thinner and the fan to low-pressure turbine driveshaft space is constrained within the core.

Figure 1: Components of a centrifugal fan An external motor belt driven inline centrifugal fan discharging inline to the exterior of a building through a duct. Unlike non-inline/non-concentric impeller casing design with a cutoff blade above, the concentrically symetric cylinder casing and impeller geometry of inline type redirects the outflow around so that it is parallel to the inflow of gases.
A steam turbine with the case opened Humming of a small pneumatic turbine used in a German 1940s-vintage safety lamp. A turbine (/ ˈ t ɜːr b aɪ n / or / ˈ t ɜːr b ɪ n /) (from the Greek τύρβη, tyrbē, or Latin turbo, meaning vortex) [1] [2] is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work.
