    Abstract: An aircraft has first and second fuel sources containing fuels with different characteristics, and one or more gas turbine engines powered by the fuels and each having a staged combustion system having pilot and main fuel injectors and being operable in pilot-only and pilot-and-main ranges of operation. The gas turbine engines each have a fuel delivery regulator arranged to control fuel delivery to the pilot and main fuel injectors. The method includes: obtaining a proposed mission description; obtaining nvPM impact parameters for the gas turbine engines, the impact parameters being associated with each operating condition of the proposed mission; calculating an optimised set of one or more fuel characteristics for each flight condition of the proposed flight defined in the flight description based on the nvPM impact parameters; and determining a fuel allocation based on the optimised set of one or more fuel characteristics.

    Abstract: An engine model calibration system includes a gas turbine engine, a sensor, a nominal engine estimation module for FD&I, and a self-tuning engine estimation module for engine parameter estimation. The nominal engine estimation module includes an open-loop nominal engine model configured to output estimated nominal engine parameters indicative of the one or more engine operating parameters, and selectively updates the open-loop nominal engine model based on one or more identified engine operating conditions. The engine model calibration system can perform calibration of a nominal engine model and a self-tuning engine model as they are used for FD&I and engine parameter estimation. The self-calibrating dynamic model also can separate the long-term tuning parameters and the short-term tuning parameters from one another so that the self-tuning capability for the self-tuning engine model is not compromised or diminished as the engine deteriorates.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for filtering an input signal (3b, 4b, 5b) relative to a physical variable of a turbine engine (9), the input signal being digitised, the method implementing frequency filtering of said signal in a computer (6) of a control system (7) of said turbine engine (9), said signal being provided at the input of the computer, a digital derivative of said signal being intended for being used by the control system (7), characterised in that it involves: —detecting an amplitude variation of said variable on said input signal, by a step of generating a second derivative signal (S) of the input signal and a step of comparing a value of the second derivative value of the input signal with at least one predetermined threshold (S1 . . . Sn); and —adapting the frequency filtering of said input signal as a function of the detected amplitude variation of said variable, by a step of controlling a controlled filter (PB11) capable of applying frequency filtering to the input signal, so that the controlled filter applies or does not apply the frequency filtering as a function of a result of the comparison step.
