Engine Damage Related Propulsion System Malfunctions
This document describes the research conducted as part of FAA contract DTFACT 03 C 00O33. The purpose was to research the operational effects and causes of engine damage and develop damage detection strategies using combinations of existing sensors (sensor fusion) The research included a comprehensive study of engine damage causes and effects from in service data, an assessment of how and why engine damage should be annunciated to the flight crew, development of high level sensor fusion based damage detection strategies, and an assessment of the benefits and implementation considerations.
