Abstract :
An investigation of the instrumentation needs and requirements for the next generation of aerospace propulsion control systems is given. As propulsion systems have become more advanced and complex and their performance requirements more demanding, new control concepts have been developed to enable the required system control. Over the last decade, new instrumentation technologies have emerged in a bid to meet the needs of propulsion control systems for advanced jet, rocket, and hybrid engines. This paper will discuss these new needs and the advanced instrumentation technologies currently under development to help meet these needs. It will then identify advanced instrumentation technologies that are most crucial and should be developed further for the greatest overall benefit to emerging and future propulsion control systems
