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.
