File:Marbore IV.jpg|[[Turbomeca Marboré]] IV engine showing ___location of leakage between impeller blades and stationary shroud, shown sectioned and painted blue. This is the leak path for a centrifugal impeller equivalent to an axial blade tip to casing clearance.<ref name="AGARD" /> The clearance between the impeller vanes and their shroud is visible and has to be as small as possible without causing rubbing contact. This keeps leakage to a minimum and contributes to the efficiency of the engine.

File:CFM56 High Pressure Turbine Blade.JPG|A used CFM56 high pressure turbine blade. New blades have 3 different-depth notches at the tip to aid visual assessment (using a borescope) of rubbed away material and consequent increase in tip clearance. 0.25 mm of lost blade-tip causes a 10 deg C loss of EGT margin.<ref>{{
File:CFM56 High Pressure Turbine Vane.JPG|CFM56 turbine nozzle guide vanes. The area for the combustor gas flow for the complete ring of vanes at the narrowest part of the passage is known as the turbine area. When the vane trailing edges deteriorate the area increases and the engine runs hotter, which causes increasingly rapid deterioration, and uses more fuel to reach take-off thrust.<ref>https://www.jstor.org/stable/171375,"The Nozzle Guide Vane Problem", Plante</ref>
