Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for controlling a gas turbine engine are provided. The system comprises an interface to a fuel flow metering valve for controlling a fuel flow to the engine in response to a fuel flow command and a controller connected to the interface and configured for outputting the fuel flow command to the fuel flow metering valve in accordance with a required fuel flow. The controller comprises a feedforward controller configured for receiving a requested engine speed, obtaining a steady-state fuel flow for the requested engine speed as a function of the requested engine speed, the steady-state fuel flow, and the relationship between fuel flow and gas generator speed, and determining the required fuel flow to obtain the requested engine speed and the relationship between fuel flow and gas generator speed.
