Zusammenfassung:In a turbine engine (8) having a shaft (60) with turbine blades (24, 24', . . . 24N) thereon which rotate in a chamber (12) of the engine housing (10) to produce thrust in response to an operator input. A pneumatic sensor system (30) connected to said housing (10) for maintaining the space relationship between the tip (26, 26', . . . 26N) of the blades (24, 24', . . . 24N) and the wall (28) of housing 10 within set limits under varying operational conditions experienced by the turbine engine (8).
