Techniques for determining temperature and velocity in a space inside a gas turbine engine (100) include mounting acoustic sensors (150) in the engine. The sensors are mounted to detect acoustic signals in a space (108) of fluid flow without extending into the space. A first sensor (350a) is displac...
