ABSTRACT:
A fuel control for a gas turbine engine has a positive displacement pump (10) which directs fuel to a constant flow regulator (14) which generates a constant or fixed rate flow of fuel. A flow diverter (16) includes a dividing device which divides the constant flow of fuel between a discharge conduit (18) connected to the burner nozzles of the engine and a bypass conduit (20) connected to the inlet side of the pump. A computer (22) which is adapted to sense various engine parameters; and calculate fuel flow controls the flow dividing device in order to apportion the flow so that the calculated fuel flow is delivered to the engine.
