PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple, robust and systematic control solution for open rotor control with a differential gearbox.SOLUTION: When the two counter rotating rotors of a CROR engine are conditioned by the differential gearbox, the two rotors speeds are coupled for given input torque. The solution provided by the current disclosure mathematically decouples these two rotors by transforming the original individual actuator input and speed output into differential and average input and output. Because the newly formed control system representation of the plant has decoupled input/output mapping, it follows that the simple SISO control can be applied. Furthermore, the current control solutions allow a simple and well-coordinated speed phase synchronizing among the four rotors on a 2-engine vehicle. |
