This paper provides a comparison of techniques used to model the fuel flow to shaft speed relationship of a Spey gas turbine engine. Linear models are examined and the need for nonlinear modelling is justified. A technique based on nonparametric data analysis is proposed, to simplify the identification of a nonlinear model of the engine. A NARMAX model is identified and its performance validated against a range of small and large signal engine tests.
