The present disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling thrust produced at takeoff by at least one engine () of an aircraft (). At least one input signal comprising input data indicative of a speed of the aircraft is received (). The speed of the aircraft is compared to a first pre-determined threshold. Responsive to determining that the speed is below the first threshold, a thrust limit for the at least one engine is determined () from the input data and output to the at least one engine a thrust limitation signal for causing the thrust to be limited according to the thrust limit ().

System and method for controlling a takeoff thrust

A throttle system for providing throttle control for an engine on an aircraft includes a throttle quadrant assembly (TQA) module () in electrical communication with a throttle lever () for receiving a position signal () indicative of a magnitude for a throttle of the engine, the TQA module () being operative to convert the position signal () into a throttle signal, an engine electronic control (EEC) module () connected to the TQA module () to translate the throttle signal () into a throttle control signal for the engine, and at least one signal/power line connecting the TQA module () to the EEC module (). The signal/power line at least carries the throttle signal from the TQA module to the EEC module.
