Zusammenfassung:A method and a system are provided for controlling a propeller-driven aircraft, the aircraft powered by at least one engine having at least one propeller associated therewith. At least one control input for the at least one engine is received at an engine controller for the at least one engine. The engine controller determines, based on the at least one control input, a setpoint for a rotational speed of the at least one propeller and outputs, to a propeller controller for the at least one propeller, a control signal comprising instructions to adjust the rotational speed of the at least one propeller to the setpoint.
