Active clearance control (ACC) is a method used in large aircraft gas turbines to improve fuel efficiency during cruise. This is achieved by setting the turbine tip clearance at more than one operating point and contrasts with passive clearance control which sets it for only one condition and is explained below. As one way to reduce fuel consumption better blade tip sealing has taken on a prominent role in aircraft engine design since the late 1960's. It is used on the CFM International CFM56-5B engine, installed on the Airbus A320, for example.
