Abstract
The failure of a gas turbine engine, particularly flame-out or output drive train breakage, is immediately detected and a warning signal generated. Engine flame-out is defined as an unacceptably fast gas turbine deceleration rate while output shaft failure is determined by sensing a mismatch between the engine output shaft speed and load speed.
