Abstract: A combustion system for a vehicle having an engine includes a hydrogen fuel system having a fuel source providing a hydrogen fuel, a combustor operable to combust the hydrogen fuel to generate combustion gases, and a fuel delivery assembly operable to deliver the hydrogen fuel from the fuel source to the combustor. A first control system has a first update rate and is operable to control one or more operational aspects of the turbine engine. A second control system is in communication with the first control system and the hydrogen fuel system and has a second update rate faster than the first update rate. The second control system is operable to monitor at least one parameter associated with the hydrogen fuel system and output at least one control signal to the hydrogen fuel system to control the delivery or the combustion of the hydrogen fuel.

Abstract: A system includes one or more debris sensors or particulate sensors are used to sense engine inlet debris or particulate matter which are drawn into the engine during flight, in real-time. The system employs that information, in conjunction with other engine health and module health techniques, to identify which gas-path modules of the aircraft engine may require maintenance or repair. In one embodiment, existing engine health technique may be based on various engine operational parameters for a new engine or an average engine.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling powerplants that include and/or leverage one or more health models to proactively optimize component life or minimize damage of one or more components of the powerplant are provided. In one exemplary aspect, a control system for a powerplant feeds engine data into one or more health models. The health models output health data indicative of a condition of one or more components of the powerplant. The control system utilizes the health data outputs to proactively control the components of the powerplant in such a way so as to optimize component life/damage.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining torque split among engines in a multi-engine system using adaptive engine models are provided. In one embodiment, a method of determining a torque split can include generating a first model specifying torque versus fuel flow for a first engine based at least in part on measured operating points for the first engine; and generating a second model specifying torque versus fuel flow for a second engine based at least in part on measured operating points for the second engine. The method can further include determining a torque split for the first engine and the second engine that reduces total fuel flow for the first engine and the second engine based at least in part on the first model and the second model; and controlling the torque output of the first engine and the second engine based at least in part on the torque split.
