  • Gas turbine engine idle control and method
    Patent number: 4269027
    Abstract: A free turbine gas turbine engine with an automatic idle reset control and method which anticipates requirement for engine acceleration and increases idle speed before request for acceleration is received.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 1977
    Date of Patent: May 26, 1981
    Assignee: The Garrett Corporation
    Inventors: George B. Mattson, Geoffrey D. Woodhouse
  • Gas turbine engine fuel control
    Patent number: 4266401
    Abstract: A control system for a gas turbine engine includes provisions for adjusting fuel flow in relation to gas generator speed, and for adjusting guide vane position in relation to power turbine speed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 22, 1977
    Date of Patent: May 12, 1981
    Assignee: The Garrett Corporation
