Synthesis of nonlinear optimal real-time automatic control systems for gas turbine engines

An approach to solution of the central problem of automatic control theory as applied to digital automatic control systems of aeroengines based on formation at each control step of the optimal criterion in the form of an objective function and determination of optimal control actions from the solution of the obtained nonlinear programming problem. The results of the synthesis of a system for controlling the given flight velocity of a heavy transport aircraft optimal with respect to fuel consumption per one kilometer are presented.
