This paper focuses on multi-objective optimisation of staged combustion control for aviation gas turbine engines. Pareto optimisation based multi-objective genetic algorithms are used to design the fuel distribution control laws of a staged combustor. The results of control system parameter optimisation over International Civil Aviation Organisation Landing and Take-off cycle and the typical engine operation condition are presented. An analysis of the control-related issues for optimal fuel distribution is presented
Keywords: aerospace, optimisation, genetic algorithms
