This book deals with the principles of control of aviation gas turbine and ramjet engines. Attention is concentrated on describing the physical bases of the processes of engine controlAND AN EXPOSITION OF THE METHODS OF EXPERIMENTAL STUDY AND DESIGN OF CONTROL APPARATUS. A series of examples bring out the close connection between the operation of the elements in the control loop and the fuel supply system of the engines. The characteristics of the several elements of the fuel apparatus are given. The book is written as a textbook for students in Aviation Institutes, but may also be useful for workers specializing in the field of aviation engines. (Author).

Advanced Control of Turbofan Engines describes the operational performance requirements of turbofan (commercial) engines from a controls systems perspective, covering industry-standard methods and research-edge advances. This book allows the reader to design controllers and produce realistic simulations using public-domain software like CMAPSS: Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation, whose versions are released to the public by NASA. The scope of the book is centered on the design of thrust controllers for both steady flight and transient maneuvers. Classical control theory is not dwelled on, but instead an introduction to general undergraduate control techniques is provided. Advanced Control of Turbofan Engines is ideal for graduate students doing research in aircraft engine control and non-aerospace oriented control engineers who need an introduction to the field.

Major changes in gas turbine design, especially in the design and complexity of engine control systems, have led to the need for an up to date, systems-oriented treatment of gas turbine propulsion. Pulling together all of the systems and subsystems associated with gas turbine engines in aircraft and marine applications, Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems discusses the latest developments in the field. Chapters include aircraft engine systems functional overview, marine propulsion systems, fuel control and power management systems, engine lubrication and scavenging systems, nacelle and ancillary systems, engine certification, unique engine systems and future developments in gas turbine propulsion systems. The authors also present examples of specific engines and applications. Written from a wholly practical perspective by two authors with long careers in the gas turbine & fuel systems industries, Gas Turbine Propulsion Systems provides an excellent resource for project and program managers in the gas turbine engine community, the aircraft OEM community, and tier 1 equipment suppliers in Europe and the United States. It also offers a useful reference for students and researchers in aerospace engineering.

Principles are discussed of control of gas-turbine and ramjet aviation engines. Principal emphasis is placed on the peculiarities of the working process of various types of jet engines and their elements, which essentially affect the operation of the entire control system. There are examined methods of analytic and experimental investigation of control systems and design of regulating equipment. There is given a general idea of control of nuclear jet engines, principles of extremal control of an aircraft power plant and the application of statistical calculation methods, allowing consideration of the effect of random influences on control systems.
