Temperature - fuel-flow and temperature-area feedback control systems were investigated as means of controlling tailpipe gas temperature of a turbojet engine during transient operation in the high-speed region. Proportional-plus-integral control was used in both systems, but in the temperature-area control system it was necessary to add nonlinear components to the basic proportional-plus-integral control to provide satisfactory transient response to a desired step increase in temperature. Time integral of temperature-error functions were used as criteria for determining optimum transient response. A description of engine dynamics was obtained from frequency-response data.
