Analysis on Application of Electrostatic Sensor in Aero⁃engine Overspeed Monitoring

open access: yesNanjing Hangkong Hangtian Daxue Xuebao
Overspeed events may occur in the operation of aero-engines, which may lead to hazardous engine consequences of “uncontained high-energy debris”. Based on the safety requirements of aero-engine airworthiness certification for overspeed events, this paper
