Miniaturized High Speed Controls for Turbine Engines.
Abstract
This program was undertaken to investigate and demonstrate technology for advancing the state-of-the-art of small, low cost fuel controls for jet engines in the 1000-pound thrust class applicable to missile, drone and RPV systems. This report describes the 3-month conceptual design Phase I effort. During this phase, engine and airframe manufacturers were surveyed to determine control system performance and environmental requirement trends for the 1976-1980 time frame. Discussions of possible control/engine/vehicle functional integrations were included with the emphasis on the feasibility of using the vehicle computer for the engine control. Conceptual design studies were conducted on control modes, fuel metering and pumping components, sensors, geometry actuators, analog and digital computation, and vehicle computer interfaces. (Author)
