Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes a fan section having a fan rotatable with a fan shaft, a turbomachinery section having a turbine and a turbomachine shaft rotatable with the turbine, a power gearbox mechanically coupled to the fan shaft and the turbomachine shaft such that the fan shaft is rotatable by the turbomachine shaft across the power gearbox, a grounded structure coupled to and supporting the power gearbox, and a torque monitoring system. The torque monitoring system includes a gearbox sensor. The gearbox sensor is coupled to the grounded structure and the torque monitoring system configured to determine a torque across the power gearbox using the gearbox sensor.
