Abstract
Instrumented airflow path components configured to determine airflow path distortion in an airflow path of a gas turbine engine (e.g., using for propulsion of an aircraft) are provided. In one embodiment, a gas turbine engine for an aircraft can include a compressor section, a combustion section, and turbine section in series flow. The compressor section, combustion section, and turbine section define at a portion of an engine airflow path for the gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine further includes one or more members extending at least partially into the engine airflow path of the gas turbine engine and one or more pressure sensor devices at least partially integrated into the one or more members extending at least partially into the engine airflow path. The one or more pressure sensor devices are configured to obtain measurements for determining a distortion condition for the gas turbine engine.
