Abstract
A powered bleed adjuster is disclosed. The powered bleed adjust includes a barrel valve located at least partially within a bleed fluid pathway of a shaft. The barrel valve includes an internal fluid path formed along a longitudinal axis of the barrel valve, an opening of the internal fluid path at a first end of the barrel valve, and at least one bleed port through a wall of the barrel valve to provide a second opening for the internal fluid path. The powered bleed adjust also includes a motor coupled with the barrel valve, the motor configured to rotate the barrel valve to control a fluid flow through the bleed fluid pathway.
