ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine includes a controller configured for controlling combustor lean flameout. The engine includes a compressor joined to a turbine by a core rotor, with a combustor disposed therebetween for receiving compressed air and fuel for generating combustion gas discharged to the turbine. The controller is configured for reducing fuel flow to the combustor in response to speed of the core rotor and pressure of compressed air entering the combustor to decelerate the core rotor while preventing lean flameout in the combustor.
