Electronic engine controller mounted on the fuel metering unit for small aircraft engine applications

摘要

A fuel metering unit (FMU) (128;228;428) for an aircraft engine (112;212;412) includes an effector (132;232;432) and an electronic engine controller (EEC) (120;420). The effector (132;232;432) is electrically connected to the EEC (120;420) to adjust a rate of fuel flowing into the engine (112;212;412). The adjustment is in response to a control signal sent from the EEC (120;420). The control signal sent from the EEC (120;420) is responsive to an engine sensor signal and to airframe sensor information.
