Turbine Engine Control Synthesis

Abstract

A highly versatile, research type, externally programmable control system for use in development and evaluation of new modes of control was assembled at the Air Force Aero-Propulsion Laboratory. It includes: sensors and transducers to measure and transform engine operating state, engine geometry actuation devices and fuel control mechanisms, a J85-13 engine mounted the cell of Room 21, Building 18C of the AFAPL, a simulation of the J85 engine on the AFAPL's Applied Dynamics AD/Five Computer, programs for the IBM 1800 computer to control the engine and the simulated engines, and interface electronic equipment to complete the circuit between the digital computer, engine-mounted equipment and the simulated engine.
