    摘要: A method (600) of thrust control for an airbreathing jet engine (50). The method comprises obtaining a demanded thrust setting, obtaining a value of static pressure at a first axial location (35) of a combustion chamber (30) of the airbreathing jet engine (50) and obtaining a value of static pressure at a second axial location (36) of the combustion chamber (30) of the airbreathing jet engine (50). The second axial location (36) is downstream of the first axial location (35). The method also comprises obtaining a ratio of the value of static pressure at the first axial location (35) of the combustion chamber to the value of static pressure at the second axial location (36) of the combustion chamber; and controlling a fuel flow rate of the airbreathing engine (50) based at least in part on the demanded thrust setting and the ratio of the value of the static pressure at the first axial location (35) to the value of the static pressure at the second axial location (36).
