propulsion control systems

Propulsion control systems manage how a vehicle's engines or motors generate thrust to move and steer it efficiently. They monitor factors like speed, altitude, and direction, then adjust engine settings automatically or manually to optimize performance, fuel use, and safety. These systems can include onboard computers, sensors, and actuators that work together to ensure smooth operation, respond to changing conditions, and maintain desired trajectories. Essentially, propulsion control systems act as the vehicle's "brain," coordinating engine outputs to achieve precise, reliable, and efficient movement.
