    摘要: The reference speed for a helicopter engine is incremented or decremented (237, 239) in dependence upon whether a specific range (miles per unit of fuel) has increased or decreased (236a) in a current period of time compared to the next preceding period of time, separated therefrom by at least 20 seconds (243, 244) to thereby set engine speed for minimizing use of fuel over distance traveled. Fuel is sampled only during steady flight (250-255).

    摘要: An engine failure monitor 50 for use with a multi-engine aircraft having at least two engines detects conditions indicative of a partial (700) or total (400) engine failure, including turbine shaft failures (600). In response to an engine failure, suitable inputs (134, 138, 712) are provided to an electronic engine control for operating the remaining engine. Additionally, indications indicative of the engine failure (132, 710) are provided to the cockpit.

    摘要: A helicopter engine fuel control anticipates changes in main rotor torque in response to lateral cyclic pitch commands, to thereby minimize engine and main rotor speed droop and overspeed during left and right roll maneuvers. A fuel compensation signal (100,101) is summed with a helicopter fuel control (52) fuel command signal (67) in response both to a lateral cyclic pitch command signal (LCP) (107) from a pilot operated cyclic pitch control exceeding a left or right threshold magnitude (201,210) and a total lateral cyclic pitch command signal (TCP) (108) from a lateral cyclic pitch control system exceeding a left or right threshold magnitude (202,207,215,220). The magnitude of the fuel compensation signal is dependant upon the direction of TCP and LCP, e.g., left or right, and helicopter roll acceleration (115). Alternatively, the magnitude and duration of the fuel compensation signal is dependant upon the rate of change in commanded lateral cyclic pitch (107,400,407). A limiter (120) limits the magnitude of the fuel compensation signal. The fuel compensation signal is overridden (127,125,103) when it is increasing fuel flow ( 303) during rotor overspeed (128,301), and when it is decreasing fuel flow (311) if rotor acceleration (130,133) is negative (310) during rotor droop (128,301).

    摘要: A bleed air control system for an aircraft gas turbine engine operates in a fuel saving mode in response to operation of the aircraft in a steady-state cruise condition (215,350) within a threshold flight envelope (202,310) during steady-state engine operation above a threshold range. During operation in the fuel saving mode, a gas turbine engine compressor bleed valve (10) is closed. The rate of bleed valve closure is determined as a function of bleed valve position (12,20) and gas generator speed (26,30) at the instant the fuel savings mode is initiated. The bleed air control system is returned to normal operation in response to actual or commanded engine acceleration above respective threshold magnitudes, in response to aircraft load factor differing from a reference load factor by a threshold magnitude, and in response to the discontinued operation of the aircraft at steady-state cruise conditions, discontinued steady-state operation of the engine above the transient range, or operation of the aircraft outside of the threshold flight envelope.

    摘要: A helicopter engine fuel control anticipates sudden changes in engine power demand during yaw inputs to thereby minimize engine and main rotor speed droop and overspeed during yaw maneuvers. The rate (121,123) of yaw control (107) position change generates (110) a yaw component (104) of a helicopter fuel control (52) fuel command signal (70). The magnitude of the yaw component is also dependant upon the rate of yaw control position change (703). The fuel command signal yaw component (104) is overridden (113,115) when rotor decay rate (209,217) has been arrested during a sharp left hover turn (216); when the yaw component is removing fuel (239) during rotor droop (238); and when the yaw component is adding fuel (228) during rotor overspeed (227).
