Abstract

See full text

A computing system for an unducted rotor engine with a variable pitch vane assembly in aerodynamic relationship with an unducted rotor assembly, including a sensor-based controller configured to execute a first set of operations and a model-based controller configured to execute a second set of operations. The first set of operations includes obtaining a first signal corresponding to a commanded low spool speed; obtaining a second signal indicative of a pitch angle corresponding to thrust output from the unducted rotor assembly and variable pitch vane assembly; generating a pitch feedback signal corresponding to a commanded adjustment to the pitch angle based at least on one or both of a variable blade pitch angle or a variable vane pitch angle. The second set of operations include obtaining a desired thrust output via a throttle input; determining, at least via a power management block, a commanded thrust output signal; receiving the commanded thrust output signal; and generating an output signal.
