Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system and method of non-intrusive thrust measurement of a gas turbine engine. A transmitter is disposed at a boundary of fluid flow and at least one receiver is adapted to receive transmissions from the transmitter. A processor is coupled to the receivers to determine a parameter from a characteristic of the transmission at the receiver suite and adapted to determine a thrust parameter from the parameter. Flow velocity can be measured using an acoustic emitter and two acoustic receivers arranged downstream of the emitter.
