Abstract: With the development of full authority digital electronic control for aeroengines,distributed control will become an important and promising direction of aeroengine control.The research on distributed control systems for aeroengines in recent years is reviewed.The structure,functions,advantages of aeroengine distributed control systems are emphatically expounded.The advantages and disadvantages of data buses and power buses for aeroengine distributed control systems are compared,and the choices of data buses and power buses are proposed.Influences of the aeroengine running environments on developing aeroengine distributed control systems are analyzed.The importance of developing aeroengine distributed control systems and the future development trend are discussed.
