By adjusting the fuel flow, the fuel control can increase or decrease the RPM of the N2 compressor, allowing for precise control over the engine's performance.

Submit
88. Which T56 compressor component supports the compressor rear bearing labyrinth seal?

Explanation

The compressor diffuser supports the compressor rear bearing labyrinth seal. The diffuser is a component in the compressor section of the T56 engine that slows down the airflow and increases its pressure. It is located between the compressor rotor and the combustion chamber. The diffuser helps to direct the airflow towards the rear bearing labyrinth seal, which is crucial for maintaining proper lubrication and preventing any leakage or contamination. Therefore, the diffuser plays a vital role in supporting the compressor rear bearing labyrinth seal.

Submit
89. Which f108 major engine module provides for mounting of the front of the engine to the airframe?

Explanation
