Abstract
An aircraft jet engine system includes at least one gas turbine engine having a fan including a rotor and a plurality of fan blades. A sensor system in the fan section senses information about the operation of the blades and provides feedback on the condition of each blade to a control. The control is programmed to take in the sensed information and identify a safe operating range for the gas turbine engine based upon damage information developed from the sensed information with regard to each of the blades. An aircraft jet engine system incorporating a plurality of gas turbine engines wherein safe operating ranges are developed for each of the gas turbine engines is also disclosed as is a method of operating an aircraft jet engine system.
