Abstract

This paper discusses the application of dynamic programming techniques in the domain of turbojet engine control system design. Based on a known detailed model of a by-pass double-spool turbojet engine, derived in previous works, we obtained an optimum control law governing the acceleration of the engine. The work discusses the adaptation of dynamic programming techniques to the specified problem. A detailed analysis of the problem characteristics is included and a discussion of computer implementation requirements is presented.
