CONTROL SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY THE prime functions of any engine control system arc to provide stable speed governing and protection against overstressing the engine. Speed control is usually effected by hydro‐mechanical or hydro‐electrical governing of the fuel flow; overstressing is normally avoided by limiting engine temperature, turbine entry temperature, pressure, overspeeding and acceleration.
