Abstract
THE ability to detect an impending failure in an aircraft engine mechanical power system, at an early stage, where expensive and possibly catastrophic system failures can be prevented, will provide enhanced aircraft safety by minimising the possibility of a serious engine failure, and the need for the pilot to shut down an engine during flight with all the attendant emergency ramifications that can arise. This will also improve the utilisation of the aircraft, by the scope to plan unscheduled engine removals to suit the aircraft downtime, and it will reduce the turnround time and costs to effect the necessary repairs; particularly if the skill of detection can also pinpoint the area of distress with accuracy.
