Vital Link produces throttle systems specifically designed for both Jet Engine and Turbo-shaft engines. The Throttle systems enable control by manual operation through input to a throttle lever, or operator screen with the option of automatic computer controlled operation for optimum testing repeatability. In automatic operation the throttle is programmed to perform engine speed changes as required by the test schedule and engine shutdown should the system monitor an event that requires such action for the safety of the engine or operators.
The operator selects manual or automatic operation and if in automatic operation the operator can regain manual control by moving the throttle lever manually to override the computer controlled operation.
