Summary: | This disclosure describes a method of controlling operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having a flight control system comprising: a flight controller for implementing a flight control strategy; and an engine control unit interfaced with the flight controller for controlling engine operation. An engine speed target is set for the flight control system in response to one or more signals communicated by the flight controller to the engine control unit which controls engine operation to achieve the engine speed target by closed loop control over fueling without requiring throttle position control. |
