ABSTRACT:
An electronic circuit is used to control a gas turbine engine primarily as a function of turbine inlet temperature and compressor speed and in particular includes a speed governing loop to control compressor speed according to throttle position and modified by a temperature limiting compensation loop which accurately sets the turbine inlet temperature limit according to a schedule which avoids engine surge and destructive temperatures. The compensation loop is particularly designed to provide quick response to acceleration demands and a smooth transition to temperature limiting. A start fuel schedule circuit is also used to moderate the speed loop during engine starting.
