Integrated Powerplant Control Systems and Potential Performance Benefits,

Abstract

Three aspects of integration are examined in which the Powerplant Control System can be integrated with the Aircraft Systems to provide mutual benefits. It is shown how the Powerplant Control System can be progressively integrated into the aircraft systems architecture by means of a distributed computing system for Utility Systems Management. A number of benefits can be expected as a result, but, more importantly, the Powerplant Control System is shown to be a candidate for further improvement as a result of the integration and the ready availability of off-take load related data. Finally some of the advantages of integration with Flight Control are discussed. (Author)
