  • Power plant thrust management system for turboprop engines
    Patent number: 10473038
    Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a turboprop engine having a high pressure spool and a low pressure spool rotating independently from one another. Each spool contains at least one compressor stage and the low pressure spool is connected to a propeller. The method comprises determining a target temperature-corrected rotational speed of the low pressure spool for a given set of operating parameters; and controlling a mechanical speed of the low pressure spool to maintain the temperature-corrected rotational speed of the low pressure spool substantially constant throughout at least a portion of a range of a power demand on the turboprop engine.
    Type: Grant
