The inlet guide vane may have an inner diameter edge opposite an outer diameter edge, and may comprise a leading edge part and a trailing edge part. The trailing edge part may comprise a trailing edge length defining a length between a forward edge and an aft edge. The trailing edge length may vary in length. The trailing edge part may be displaced from the leading edge part at a stagger angle. The stagger angle may vary in displacement.
