Abstract: What is provided is a fuel supply system that includes a fuel gear pump that is driven by an electric motor and sends fuel in a fuel tank to a fuel nozzle that supplies fuel to the combustor, a controller that controls a rotational speed of the electric motor, and the flow rate measurer that measures the flow rate of fuel discharged from the fuel gear pump. When the difference between the fuel flow rate actually discharged from the electric motor and a target value of the flow rate is equal to or greater than a first threshold value with respect to the target value, the controller adjusts the rotational speed of the electric motor so that the measured value of the flow rate of the fuel discharged from the fuel gear pump approaches the target value.

Abstract: An aircraft propulsion system includes: a gas turbine engine attached to an airframe of an aircraft; a generator connected to an engine shaft of the engine; a first electric motor driven using electric power including electric power generated by the generator; a rotor attached to the airframe of the aircraft and driven using a driving force output by the first electric motor; and a control device configured to control an operating state of the engine. The control device includes a flow rate controller which reduces the flow rate of fuel supplied to the engine so that the engine does not misfire when a decrease in output of the engine is promoted using a driving force output by a second electric motor included in the generator, and a drive controller which controls the magnitude of the driving force output by the second electric motor so that the temperature of the engine does not exceed an allowable temperature.

A volume A1 of the first space 31 of the cylinder 10 at the time of the engine operation of the gas turbine engine is defined as a first volume when operating B1. A total volume of fuel remaining in a fuel manifold 4 and a fuel nozzle 5 at the time of the engine stop of the gas turbine engine is defined as a required recovery volume D. The first volume when operating B1 is greater than the required recovery volume D.

Abstract: In an aircraft gas turbine engine equipped with a bleed-off valve that bleeds intake air compressed by a compressor exterior and an electric actuator that drives the valve when current is supplied, a required valve opening ?r and a current value Ia corresponding thereto are calculated and Ia is supplied to the actuator to bring valve opening ? to the required opening ?r. Then Ia is compared with a current value Ib and if Ia exceeds 1b, the valve is estimated to have failed and another current value Ic is calculated and Ic is supplied to enlarge valve opening toward wide-opening ?w. Then a current value Id is calculated and supplied to decrease valve opening toward ?r. Next, Id is compared with Ib and the valve is determined normal when Id is equal to or smaller than 1b. If not, it is determined to be faulty.
