variable-cycle engine [′ver·ē·ə·bəl ¦sī·kəl ′en·jən]

(aerospace engineering)

A type of gas turbine jet engine whose cycle parameters, such as pressure ratio, temperature, gas flow paths, and air-handling characteristics, can be varied between those of a turbojet and a turbofan, enabling it to combine the advantages of both.
