Abstract:
In accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for providing overspeed protection for a gas turbine engine is provided. The gas turbine engine may include an engine core and an engine shaft. The method may include determining an overspeed condition of the engine. The overspeed condition may be indicative of an above normal rotational speed of the engine shaft. The method may also include reducing an airflow through the engine core of the gas turbine engine in response to the determined overspeed condition to reduce the rotational speed of the engine shaft.
