The e+cessi4e pressure in a compressor can be relie4ed b" compressor bleed 4al4es !leed 4al4es are fitted to eliminate lo3 speed compressor sur e and allo3 smooth acceleration b" release e+cess 4olume of air to atmosphere. b. 1r the use of 4ariable 4anes These 4anes are located prior to the first sta e rotor and the" are automaticall" adjusted to redirect the airflo3 into the compressor as the compressor speed falls off. Thus. the air continues to meet the first sta e rotors at the correct an le of attack. c. At hi h mach numbers. there is an e+cess of intake air and this additional 4olume of air could choke the compressor so the 4elocit" of the air must be slo3ed do3n. This is done b" another method of sur e control kno3n as intake eometr" control.

A borescope is an optical de4ice consistin of a ri id or fle+ible tube 3ith an e"epiece on one end. an objecti4e lens on the other linked to ether b" a rela" optical s"stem in bet3een. The optical s"stem is usuall" surrounded b" optical fibers used for illumination of the remote object and a ri id or fle+ible protecti4e outer sheath. The remote object is illuminated and an internal ima e formed b" the objecti4e lens is rela"ed to the e"epiece 3hich ma nifies the internal ima e and presents it to the 4ie3erDs e"e. 1%. 1hy 1e 6se +orescope in Engine2
