Abstract
A flight evaluation of a digital electronic engine control (DEEC) has been conducted on an F100 engine in an F-15 airplane. Following an extensive development program, ground tests, and altitude facility tests, a 30-flight evaluation was flown at the NASA Ames Research Center's Dryden Flight Research Facility. The DEEC is a single-channel, full authority digital control with selective input-output redundancy and a simple hydromechanical backup control. It incorporates closed-loop control logic that eliminates the need for engine trimming, provides automatic airstarts, and greatly improves the augmentor transient capability. The DEEC also incorporates significant fault detection and accommodation logic, and is capable of maintaining digital control of the engine for any single input-output failure. Results of the DEEC flight evaluation were presented at a minisymposium held at Ames Dryden on May 25 and 26, 1983. This publication contains the papers that were presented.
