Abstract:

Constraint is an inherent nonlinear character of aircraft engines and their associated control systems, wherein constraint control is a critical approach to ensure the security and steady operation of engines. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art constraint control designs of aircraft engines and prospects for its future development trends as well as the recent advancement of nonlinear system constraint control. Initially, the paper addresses the challenges of constraint control in response to the physical conditions during the aircraft engine’s operation, especially the control design with the state/output constraints and input constraints. Subsequently, the current research on constraint control in aircraft engines is surveyed in detail, and the comparisons of the constraint control approaches between engines and nonlinear systems are performed. Finally, the paper presents the feasible solutions for aircraft engine constraint control by integrating the engine-specific characteristics with the relevant theoretical research, and also outlines the anticipated development trends for the discussed field.

Key words: aircraft engines, nonlinear systems, state/output constraint, saturation input constraint control, dead-zone input constraint control, sector input constraint control
