Abstract:
A pressure sensing system strategically located measures static pressure of the inlet air of a gas turbine engine that is utilized as a signal indicative of engine inlet total pressure. The system consists of a number of ports circumferentially spaced around the engine case near the face of the engine which communicate with a manifold for feeding the average static pressure to a transducer.
