  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF AN ENGINE USING AN ENGINE CONTROLLER
    Publication number: 20210215104
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling operation of an engine using an engine controller are described herein. A status of the controller is set at an initial state. Pilot input for control of the engine is received and one or more engine parameters are obtained. The status of the controller is updated according to engine specific requirements based on at least one of the pilot input and the one or more engine parameters. The engine specific requirements defining conditions for transitioning the status of the controller for the engine. Operation of the engine is controlled based on the status of the controller, the pilot input, and the one or more engine parameters.

  • Digital communications between aircraft computer and engine computer
    Patent number: 10351255
    Abstract: There are described herein methods and systems for providing an engine computer with a power request having been determined by an aircraft computer. The power request is sent over a communication bus and once it reaches the engine computer, the latency due to the different update rates of the engine computer and the aircraft computer are compensated for.

  • Dynamically detecting resonating frequencies of resonating structures
    Patent number: 9906201
    Abstract: There is described herein a real-time scheme, implementable in software, hardware, or a combination thereof, to detect a resonating frequency of a structure from a sensed signal and dynamically set the center frequency of an adaptive compensator for effective attenuation of the resonating frequency.

  • One-engine-inoperative training method and system
    Patent number: 8025503
    Abstract: A method and system of simulating one-engine-inoperative (OEI) conditions in a multi-engine single-output aircraft which involves the operation of the engines above non-zero power settings, and operating each relative to one another to simulate power loss experienced during an actual failure of at least one engine.
