Abstract: An axial location of a time of arrival probe may be determined by attaching a wedge comprising a distal surface to a blade. A first edge of the distal surface and a second edge of the distal surface may form an angle. The axial location of the probe may be determined based on the angle and a distance extending from the first edge of the wedge to the blade.

Abstract: A performance measurement system of an inlet of a gas turbine engine includes a probe strut configured for installation to a case strut of an inlet case of a gas turbine engine. The probe strut includes one or more probes extending therefrom configured to measure one or more characteristics of an airflow past the one or more probes, a first attachment point configured to secure the probe strut to a hub portion of the inlet case, and a second attachment point configured to secure the probe strut to an outer case portion of the inlet case. A data acquisition module is located at a central longitudinal axis of the inlet and is operably connected to the probe to collect sensed data therefrom. The probe strut and the data acquisition module are configured to be installed, removed, and/or relocated without removal of the inlet case from the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A pressure probe includes a non-deflecting airfoil, a sensing feature, and an interior passage. The non-deflecting airfoil is made of a metal and configured for use in a gas turbine engine. The airfoil extends from a base to a tapered portion, and thence to a linear portion, along a primary axis. The sensing feature is formed monolithically with the airfoil, as by additive manufacturing. The interior passage is operatively connected to the sensing feature and passes through both the airfoil and the base.
