PyCon 2011: Optimal Aircraft Engine Tuner Selection in Python

Jeffrey Armstrong A numerical algorithm for designing on-board aircraft engine diagnostics has been implemented in Python. Employing the optimization techniques within SciPy, the code performs a search for an optimal vector of parameters for estimating engine variables, including exhaust temperatures and thrust. The algorithm exploits the numerical strengths of Python and SciPy for speed and interoperability.
