A system is provided for speed control during motoring of a gas turbine engine of an aircraft. The system includes an air turbine starter, a starter air valve operable to deliver compressed air to the air turbine starter, and a controller. The controller is operable to adjust the starter air valve to control motoring of the gas turbine engine based on measured feedback with lead compensation to reject disturbances attributable to dual to single or single to dual engine starting transitions.

1. A system for speed control during motoring of a first gas turbine engine of an aircraft comprising at least two gas turbine engines, the system comprising: an air turbine starter;a starter air valve operable to deliver compressed air to the air turbine starter; anda controller operable to adjust the starter air valve to control motoring of the first gas turbine engine based on measured feedback with lead compensation providing a phase lead with a positive phase angle frequency response to reject disturbances attributable to dual to single or single to dual engine starting transitions between the at least two gas turbine engines. 2. The system as in claim 1, wherein the compressed air is driven by an auxiliary power unit of the aircraft, a ground cart, or a cross engine bleed. 3. The system as in claim 1, wherein the measured feedback is based on an engine speed of a starting spool of the first gas turbine engine. 4. The system as in claim 1, wherein the measured feedback is based on a starter speed of the air turbine starter. 5. The system as in claim 1, wherein the measured feedback is based on a starter air pressure. 6. The system as is claim 1, wherein the controller is a proportional-integral controller that outputs a duty cycle that a control signal generator converts into a valve command for the starter air valve. 7. The system as in claim 6, wherein the control signal generator is a pulse width modulator signal generator. 8. The system as in claim 1, wherein the controller adjusts the starter air valve based on a valve angle of the starter air valve. 9. A system of an aircraft, the system comprising: an air turbine starter operable to drive rotation of a starting spool of a first gas turbine engine of the aircraft in response to compressed air received from a compressed air source, wherein the aircraft comprises at least two gas turbine engines;a starter air valve operable to deliver the compressed air to the air turbine starter; anda controller operable to adjust the starter air valve to control motoring of the gas turbine engine based on measured feedback with lead compensation providing a phase lead with a positive phase angle frequency response to reject disturbances attributable to dual to single or single to dual engine starting transitions between the at least two gas turbine engines. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the compressed air source comprises an auxiliary power unit of the aircraft, a ground cart, or a cross engine bleed. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the measured feedback is based on one or more of: an engine speed of the starting spool of the first gas turbine engine, a starter speed of the air turbine starter, and a starter air pressure. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein the controller is a proportional-integral controller that outputs a duty cycle that a control signal generator converts into a valve command for the starter air valve. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the control signal generator is a pulse width modulator signal generator. 14. The system of claim 9, wherein the controller adjusts the starter air valve based on a valve angle of the starter air valve. 15. A method for speed control during motoring of a first gas turbine engine of an aircraft comprising at least two gas turbine engines, the method comprising: commanding, by a controller, a starter air valve to control delivery of compressed air to an air turbine starter during motoring of the first gas turbine engine; andadjusting the starter air valve based on measured feedback with lead compensation providing a phase lead with a positive phase angle frequency response to reject disturbances attributable to dual to single or single to dual engine starting transitions between the at least two gas turbine engines. 16. The method as in claim 15, wherein the compressed air source comprises an auxiliary power unit of the aircraft, a ground cart, or a cross engine bleed. 17. The method as in claim 15, wherein the measured feedback is monitored based on one or more of: an engine speed of a starting spool of the first gas turbine engine, a starter speed of the air turbine starter, and a starter air pressure. 18. The method as in claim 15, wherein the controller is a proportional-integral controller that outputs a duty cycle that a control signal generator converts into a valve command for the starter air valve. 19. The method as in claim 18, wherein the control signal generator is a pulse width modulator signal generator. 20. The method as in claim 15, wherein the controller adjusts the starter air valve based on a valve angle of the starter air valve.
