Aeroengine Nonlinear Modeling

Advanced control often assumes implicitly that an aeroengine model is available. Modeling for both engine and control systems plays an important role in engine research and development: accelerate schedules while reducing cost and risks. For example, on control system design phase, models can be used for validating the corresponding control functions; on controller software and hardware design phase, models are used in fast prototyping, hardware-in-loop simulation, and semi-physical testing; on control system implementation phase, on-board models can be used for advanced control and fault detection, e.g. sensor analytical redundancy, flight/propulsion integration, direct propulsion control etc.
