A Microprocessor-Based Real-Time Simulator of a Turbofan Engine

Abstract

A real time digital simulator of a Pratt and Whitney F100 engine is discussed. This self contained unit can operate in an open loop stand alone mode or as part of a closed loop control system. It can also be used in control system design and development. It accepts five analog control inputs and its sixteen outputs are returned as analog signals.
