Abstract
A strut assembly for an aircraft propulsion system includes an outer case, an inner case, a plurality of struts, and a plurality of pressure sensors. Each strut extends between and to the outer case and the inner case. A first strut of the plurality of struts includes a leading strut portion and a trailing strut portion. One or both of the leading strut portion and the trailing strut portion is rotatable. The leading strut portion extends between a first axial end and a second axial end. The first axial end forms a leading edge of the first strut. The leading strut portion includes a first side surface and a second side surface. The plurality of pressure sensors includes a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor. The first pressure sensor is disposed at the first side surface and the second pressure sensor is disposed at the second side surface.
