Electronic Fuel Control for GE-T58 Gas Turbine

Develop an electronically controlled fuel control for a gas turbine that will measure flow rate, temperature, and pressure readings. Develop a programmed controller that will take these readings. Allow the newly developed model to also control whether the inlet guide vanes are open or closed, and be able to bolt into the proper location on the engine.

Background
The GE-T58 currently uses a complex mechanical fuel control that provides kerosene to the stator actuator and the fuel nozzles. This unit is extremely difficult to service and tune. The rebuild costs have been estimated around $15,000.00, while only a few places have the proper equipment to perform this service.
