Zusammenfassung:	A detection system (200) configured to detect water in a fan case (150) includes a heater (202), a monitoring camera (204), and a computing device (206). The heater (202) is configured to apply heat to the fan case (150). Any water within the fan case (150) generates a local transient thermal gradient in response to the applied heat. The monitoring camera (204) is positioned proximate the fan case (150) and configured to acquire a plurality of images (600) of the heated fan case (150). The computing device (206) is configured to: receive the plurality of images (600) from the monitoring camera (204) and analyze the plurality of images (600) to detect the water in the fan case (150).
