The basic operating principles of an electronic digital computer gas turbine engine control system are presented. Closed loop turbine discharge temperature and speed controls have been implemented; their feasibility was demonstrated through hybrid digital/analog simulation and actual tests of a GE J85 turbojet engine through the start mode to maximum afterburner. Control mode description and results of the analysis and experimental runs are given in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
