Ignition control and system for an engine of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
The ignition system (10) of an engine (particularly for a UAV) has a primary (10a), and a secondary (10b) ignition system to provide redundancy for 'get you home' capability should the primary ignition system fail. The secondary ignition provides a lower energy or shorter duration spark th...

| description | The ignition system (10) of an engine (particularly for a UAV) has a primary (10a), and a secondary (10b) ignition system to provide redundancy for 'get you home' capability should the primary ignition system fail. The secondary ignition provides a lower energy or shorter duration spark than the higher energy or longer duration sparking of the primary ignition system, and is retarded relative to primary sparking. Timing of the secondary sparking can be advanced in the event of primary sparking failure. Fuelling strategy can be shifted from a leaner stratified charge to a richer homogenous charge when relying just on the secondary ignition system for ignition. The secondary ignition system can be of a lower spark energy and/or duration than the primary ignition system, avoiding the cost, complexity and weight of replicating the primary ignition system, and to improve packaging within the engine housing, particularly within the limited payload and space limits of a UAV. |
