Gas turbine engine performance improvement has been requested continuously for both military and commercial applications due t various reasons. One of the issues is to save fuel and/or to increase the engine life to meet the multi-mission and operation cost economics requirements. I order to satisfy the customers' requirements, the engine manufacturers invested a lot of money and time if the gas turbine performance improvement. The most straight forward and simple approach is to trade the excess remained surge margins for performance. NASA has demonstrated the feasibility of this concept in their F-15 Highly Integrated Digital Electronic Control and Performance Seeking Control programs. It offers not only obvious benefits if the overall system performance improvement but also cost effective operations such a fuel saving and extended component life. Those were carried out with traditional control approaches which have to face the modelling difficulties. ' Due to successful control implementations of fuzzy logic if various environment of uncertainties, a proportional plus integral z logic controller if proposed. The fuzzy logic control system simulation results prove that the fuzzy logic controller is appropriate for gas turbine engine control. Basic fuzzy logic control concept is used with new approaches to simplifying the fuzzy logic controller. I order to enhance the engine performance, fuzzy logic control concept is used to optimize the engine performance parameters. A time function linear control scheme is proposed to the engine to a new operation location System simulation results prove the new methodology. It has to be understood that the engine model used if this research is not representative of a gas turbine, but it `is appropriate for the fuzzy logic control design analysis and simulation.
