Abstract

See full text

A gas turbine engine control for an engine which experiences airflow distortion at the engine inlet face plane uses a static pressure measurement upstream of the face plane along with a corrected rotor speed to generate a signal indicative of the average total pressure at the engine face plane. This signal is combined with a total pressure signal from elsewhere in the engine to generate a pressure ratio signal which is compared to the scheduled pressure ratio for the current operating conditions. Control logic then adjusts either the fuel flow rate to the burners or the area of the exhaust nozzle in response to the difference between these pressure ratios.
