A method for achieving linear engine thrust response comprising the steps of measuring a throttle position (FNRQ), measuring a plurality of engine parameters, inputting the plurality of engine parameters and the throttle position into a plurality of schedules to produce a plurality of outputs, combining the plurality of outputs to produce a part power scheduled airflow (WRSCH), and using the WRSCH to produce a near linear thrust response of the engine.

Method for control scheduling to achieve linear thrust response

A method of synthesizing rotor inlet temperature in a turbine comprising the steps of determining a burner fuel flow (WFGG), a burner inlet pressure (PS32), and a compressor discharge temperature (T3) of a turbine, calculating a ratio unit parameter from the burner fuel flow, the burner inlet pressure, and the compressor discharge temperature, and calculating a synthesized rotor inlet temperature from the ratio unit parameter.
