Advanced approaches in diagnostics of the turbojet engine MPM-20

This paper deals with modeling and diagnostics of complex systems and with a prestart diagnostics expert system design and implementation. In the area of modeling, the authors describe dynamic models of the speed dependence upon the fuel flow supply of a small turbojet engine MPM-20. The first model is done with use of neural networks and the second is a linear model. Both models are then methodologically incorporated into the diagnostic and backup system of the optical sensor measuring the engine speed.
