DETECTING ENGINE EXHAUST DEBRIS USING SATURATION CURRENT

A method is provided for an engine (24). During this method, a saturation current of a gas flow (58) is measured. The gas flow (58) includes combustion products (68) generated by the engine (24). The saturation current is monitored to determine presence of debris (70) entrained within the gas flow (...
