715 Chapter 8 Engine Control System Chapter 8 Engine Control System 1. What are the three main aspects of engine control? 1) Fuel flow – to allow varying engine speeds to be demand and to allow the engine to be handled without damage by limiting rotating assembly speeds, rates of acceleration and temperatures. 2) Air flow – to allow the engine to operate efficiently throughout the aircraft flight envelope and with adequate safely margins. 3) Exhaust gas flow – by burning the exhaust gases and varying the exhaust nozzle area to provide additional trust. 2. What are the typical inputs and outputs of an engine control system? Input Signals: 1. Throttle position: A transducer connected to the pilot’s throttle lever allows thrust demand to be determined 2. Air data: Airspeed and altitude can be obtained as electrical signals representing the pressure signals derived from airframe mounted capsule units. These can be obtained from aircraft systems such as an air data computer (ADC) or from the flight control system air data sensors 3. Total temperature: a total temperature probe mounted at the engine face provides the ideal signal 4. Engine speed: the speed of rotation of the shafts of the engine is usually sensed by pulse probes located in such a way as to have their magnetic field interrupted by moving metallic parts of the engine or gearbox. The blades of the turbine or compressor, or gearbox teeth passing in front of a magnetic pole piece induce pulses into a coil or a number of coils wound around a magnet. The resulting pulses are detected and used in the c
