Advanced Control of Turbofan Engines

This book reviews the operating requirements of commercial turbofan engines from a control systems viewpoint, and shows how to design controllers and produce simulations using NASA's public domain Commercial Modular Aero-Propulsion System Simulation software.

Develops a thorough understanding of the challenges associated with engine operability from a control systems perspective, describing performance demands and operational constraints into the framework and language of modern control theory

Presents solid and rigorous theoretical support for classical and advanced engine control concepts, including a new stability analysis of min-max selector systems used in commercial engine control systems

Has a bottom-up, progressive approach establishing a unified framework for the analysis of classical and advanced engine control schemes, with a strong design orientation

Provides ample coverage of classical techniques and cutting-edge research literature, including publicly-released technical information from government and industry sources

Covers public-domain, high-fidelity simulation resources, allowing the reader to reproduce the simulations of the book and to develop a basis for independent controller benchmarking studies
