Fuzzy Logic based design of a Diagnostic System for the T56 Turboprop Engine

The paper aims to present a design layout for an efficient diagnostic system for the T56-A-15 turboprop engine utilizing two vital information aids i.e. the test cell and the aircraft itself. Lying at the core of the proposed system, would be an engine health monitoring software module capable of detecting and isolating the occurrence of anomalies, as well as predicting future degraded operation for maintenance scheduling. The design would integrate statistical data analysis with fuzzy logic reasoning processes aiming to obtain a powerful data fusion capability to achieve the desired objectives.
