Abstract

The article presents the basis of the method allowing to assess the state of control condition of a turbine jet engine during the plane flight when the input signal to the engine is unpredictable interference signal „z". Method is based only on signals acquired during engine ground test when the input signal is „w" delivered by technical support using the engine control lever (DSS). The control state of the engine both from the set value „w" and „z" is expressed by the quotient of its cross power spectral densities (in frequency domain). The way of transition from the frequency domain to the time domain was presented, it allows to obtain step responses of engine from „z" and „w", greatly facilitating the interpretation of the obtained results.. The analysis of the influence of choosing types of the window function and signals sampling frequency on the accuracy of the proposed model has been carried out.
