Abstract
The speed of the gas generator of a gas turbine engine is measured and summed with the rate of change of the gas generator speed and the sum is input to a schedule which outputs desired engine acceleration as a function of gas generator speed, the input thereby providing an anticipation to the schedule output so as to result in a dynamic shift of the schedule. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention in a helicopter fuel control, the amount of anticipation provided by the schedule input allows the fuel control to accurately control the engine to the desired acceleration schedule.
