The 44th Meeting of the Propulsion and Energetics Panel on 'Power Plant Controls for Aero Gas Turbine Engines' was held at Ustaoset Hoyfjellshotell, Norway, from 9-13 September 1974. The meeting had been organized to discuss advances and trends in the aero gas turbine engine controls together with appropriate techniques for the design of optimum controls. The meeting was divided into six sessions with a total of 29 papers. The first two sessions dealt with both steady state and transient performance of aero gas turbine engines in a general fashion to provide ground work for session three, where typical control requirements were discussed. The next two sessions were on control concepts and on simulation techniques, while the last session was devoted to control system hardware. This report gives a brief review of the papers presented and the conclusions to be drawn from them.
