Abstract

Provided are systems and methods of controlling load share in a multi-engine propulsion system. A load share participation value indicative of a load share participation regime for a first engine may be received and a load sharing requirement control command for the first engine may be output. The load share participation value may depend or be based at least in part on one or more operating conditions of a second engine. The load sharing requirement control command for the first engine may depend on whether the load share participation value indicates a full-participation load share regime for the first engine, a partial-participation load share regime for the first engine, or a non-participation load share regime for the first engine.
