The impact of the FLADE component on a variable cycle engine is studied. Firstly, the paper goes ahead and develops a new algorithm for the simulation of mode switching in generic performance tools by introducing dynamic equation systems. Secondly, the paper then studies the FLADE component and its potential performance benefits if added to a conventional turbofan architecture.
