Abstract

A turbine engine including a fan, a nacelle circumscribing at least the fan, a compressor section downstream of the fan, and a conduit defined, at least in part, by the nacelle. The conduit includes a first opening at the compressor section, a second opening downstream of the fan and upstream of the compressor section, and a third opening upstream of the fan. Pressure sensors coupled to the nacelle are communicatively coupled to at least one actuator. The at least one actuator can adjust airflow between the first opening and the second opening, or between the first opening and the third opening. The pressure sensors can provide outputs for generating commands that control the at least one actuator.
