Mission
The Controls and Dynamics Branch is committed to working cooperatively with its space and aeronautics customers to research, develop and demonstrate technologies for advanced control concepts and dynamic modeling that enhance performance, safety, environmental compatibility, reliability and durability of aerospace propulsion systems.

The controls technology areas include fault diagnostics, health management, active combustion control, active stall control, turbomachinery system stability management, intelligent engine control, inlet control, integrated flight/propulsion control, nonlinear and robust multivariable control synthesis techniques, and life extending control. The dynamic modeling work includes modeling of advanced turbomachinery concepts and components, and cross-disciplinary research between controls and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).


What's New

2009 NASA Glenn Research Center Propulsion Controls and Diagnostics (PCD) Workshop
December 8 - 10, Cleveland, Ohio


The Controls and Dynamics Branch will be hosting the 2nd NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) Propulsion Control and Diagnostics (PCD) Workshop to present the latest developments in PCD technologies at NASA Glenn. The workshop will also provide a venue for the research community to provide feedback and to identify opportunites for potential collaboration and sharing of tools and methods with NASA.
