    Abstract: A method for synchronizing the engines of an airplane according to one activation logic having a deactivated state (20), an armed state (22), and one activated state (16), in which: the switching (36) of the synchronization from the armed state to the activated state is carried out via a first and then a second successive intermediate state (38, 39) of the activation logic, every instance of the activation logic switching from the second intermediate state (39) to the activated state involves the following: taking into consideration, on each engine, the activation state of the synchronization, and exchanging said data between the engines, the switching of the activation logic of one of the engines to the activated state requires that the safety and activation conditions of the other engine are all met. if one of the engines enters the deactivated state, the other engine does so as well; and for each engine, the switching (36, 42) of the synchronization from the armed state to the first and then to the second intermediate state takes place automatically when a first portion and then a second portion of the safety and/or activation conditions are met.

    Abstract: A two-shaft gas turbine control system and method are provided that can enhance the efficiency and reliability thereof by controlling the amount of intake air spray and the rotational speed of a high-pressure turbine in accordance with the aperture of an inlet guide vane in a state where a two-shaft gas turbine is being operated with the efficiency of its compressor reduced.The control system includes a droplet spray device for spraying droplets to intake air for the compressor and a controller. The controller includes a fuel control section for adjusting a flow rate of the fuel to be supplied to the combustor, a spray flow rate control section for adjusting a flow rate of spray water to be supplied to the droplet spray device, an inlet guide vane aperture control section for adjusting the aperture of the inlet guide vane, and an efficiency improvement control section for outputting a command signal for bringing a balance between driving force for the compressor and power output of the high-pressure turbine to the fuel control section, the spray flow rate control section and the inlet guide aperture control section. In response to the commands from the improvement control section, the controller reduces the rotational speed of the high-pressure turbine and controls the inlet guide vane so as to be more open, thereby appropriately controlling the flow rate of the spray water.
