  • Publication number: 20230043433
    Abstract: In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, there is provided a fuel control system for gaseous fuel in an aircraft. The system includes a control module operatively connected to a metering device in a fuel flow conduit, the control module operable to control the flow of fuel through the fuel flow conduit. The control module includes an input line operable to receive a command input indicative of a requested engine state. In embodiments, the control module includes a compressibility logic and machine readable instructions. The machine readable instruction can be configured to cause the control module to control the metering device to achieve the requested engine state based on a compressibility factor input from the compressibility logic.
