Abstract
A turbine engine control system for a propulsion system and a method of operating the propulsion system. The propulsion system includes a turbine engine including a turbo-engine and a first propulsor drivingly coupled to the turbo-engine, and a second propulsor that is remote from the turbine engine. The turbine engine control system includes a single throttle lever and a controller that receives an input from the single throttle lever, and controls the turbine engine and the second propulsor based on the input from the single throttle lever.

A turbine engine control system for a propulsion system including a turbine engine having a turbo-engine and a first propulsor drivingly coupled to the turbo-engine, and a second propulsor that is remote from the turbine engine, the turbine engine control system comprising:
- a single throttle lever;
- and
- a controller that:
- receives an input from the single throttle lever;
- and
- controls the turbine engine and the second propulsor based on the input from the single throttle lever.
A method of operating a propulsion system, the method comprising:
- operating a turbine engine of the propulsion system, the turbine engine comprising a turbo-engine and a first propulsor, the turbo-engine driving the first propulsor;
- operating a second propulsor that is remote from the turbine engine;
- and
- controlling the turbine engine and the second propulsor based on an input from a single throttle lever.
