Patent attributes
A control system for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The control system may include a computer processor. The control system may also include an outer loop control module programmed into the computer processor to determine a torque request based at least in part on a real-time collective lever angle command. The control system may also include an inner loop control module programmed into the computer processor to receive the torque request from the outer loop control module, to determine fuel flow and inlet guide vane schedules based at least in part on the received torque request, and to send signals to a gas generator of the gas turbine engine in order to control the gas generator according to the determined fuel flow and inlet guide vane schedules.
