Patent ID: 10137997

Abstract:
A throttle system for providing throttle control for an engine on an aircraft includes a throttle quadrant assembly (TQA) module (92, 94) in electrical communication with a throttle lever (86) for receiving a position signal (88, 90) indicative of a magnitude for a throttle of the engine, the TQA module (92, 94) being operative to convert the position signal (88, 90) into a throttle signal, an engine electronic control (EEC) module (100, 102) connected to the TQA module (92, 94) to translate the throttle signal (88, 90) into a throttle control signal for the engine, and at least one signal/power line connecting the TQA module (92, 94) to the EEC module (100, 102). The signal/power line at least carries the throttle signal from the TQA module to the EEC module.
