In an airplane thrust control apparatus, a control unit (EEC) for controlling the throttle valve opening of an internal combustion engine installed in an airplane and the propeller revolution speed is provided in order to control the engine to appropriate conditions suitable to various flight conditions. During normal operation, the EEC sets the throttle valve opening and the propeller revolution speed in accordance to the stroke of a single power lever. However, if it is determined that the airplane is descending, the EEC sets the throttle valve opening to a value less than the normal set opening, and sets the propeller revolution speed to a high revolution speed equal to or higher than a predetermined revolution speed, regardless of the set revolution speed. Therefore, the thrust control apparatus is able to achieve a sufficient descending rate by reducing the engine output while maintaining high supercharger revolution speed high and maintaining required cabin pressurization.
