Extract

The study of powerplant control systems is often carried out in isolation from the requirements of the aircraft. In this collaborative study a Systems approach has been adopted to ensure that the results obtained for an integrated control system are truly applicable to the combined system: airframe, avionics and powerplant with particular regard to the next generation of aircraft employing high technology in methods of data transmission, system integration and crew-system interfaces.
