    摘要: Systems and methods for modelling an engine in a vehicle are provided. A method can include determining a first solver for modelling the engine. The first solver can include a first routine configured for determining one or more parameters of the engine. The method can further include obtaining a first set of inputs associated with the first solver. The first set of inputs can include one or more inputs obtained from the first solver and one or more previous engine states. The method can further include modelling the engine based at least in part on the first set of inputs to generate a first set of outputs. The first set of outputs can include one or more parameters of the engine and one or more engine states. The method can further include providing the one or more parameters to the solver.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.
