    Abstract: A variable-cycle compressor includes: an axial-flow compressor, a flowpath downstream of the compressor, and at least one variable-cycle device operable to vary a choked flow capacity of the downstream flowpath. The compressor includes: a rotor having at least one rotor stage including a rotatable disk defining a rotor flowpath surface and an array of axial-flow rotor airfoils extending outward from the flowpath surface; at least one stator stage including a wall defining a stator flowpath surface, and an array of axial-flow stator airfoils extending away from the stator flowpath surface. At least one stage includes splitter airfoils alternating with the rotor or stator airfoils of the corresponding stage. At least one of a chord dimension of the splitter airfoils and a span dimension of the splitter airfoils is less than the corresponding dimension of the airfoils of the at least one stage.
