Turbine engine shaft torque sensing

A gas turbine engine defining a central axis in an axial direction, the gas turbine engine comprising:

• an engine shaft extending along the central axis;
• a turbine attached to the engine shaft for providing rotation thereto;
• a first sensor module including a strain sensor positioned on the engine shaft;
• a second sensor module including a strain sensor positioned on the engine shaft separate from the first sensor module;
• a first coupler positioned on the engine shaft and electrically connected with the first sensor module;
• a second coupler positioned on the engine shaft and electrically connected with the second sensor module;
• and
• a static antenna for redundant signal transmission, the static antenna including
• a first signal band in operable communication with the first sensor module and positioned radially outward from the first coupler, and
• a second signal band in operable communication with the second sensor module and positioned radially outward from the second coupler;
• a controller operably connected to the static antenna for receiving a signal therefrom;
• a first remote memory storage unit in operable communication between the static antenna and the controller;
• and
• a first wiring path between the static antenna and the controller, wherein the first remote memory storage unit is disposed along the first wiring path.
