Claim 10:
11. A method, comprising:
controlling one or more actuators operatively connected to one or more flow control devices to adjust a flow area of the one or more flow control devices while fluid is provided from a fluid source to a plurality of fluid destinations through the one or more flow control devices, wherein the plurality of fluid destinations includes:
an actuation system connected downstream of the fluid source by a first one of the one or more flow control devices;
a combustor of an engine connected downstream of the fluid source by a second one of the one or more flow control devices; and
a bypass return flow system connected downstream of the fluid source by a third one of the one or more flow control devices,
wherein adjusting flow area of the one or more flow control devices includes controlling a flow area of each of the one or more flow control devices with fluid provided from the fluid source flowing to the actuation system through the first one of the one or more flow control devices, to the combustor through the second one of the one or more flow control devices, and to the bypass return flow system through the third one of the one or more flow control devices.
