An aircraft powerplant and a method for measuring thrust are described herein. A gas turbine engine has a turbine section for extracting energy from combustion gases and has a shaft mounted to the turbine section for converting the energy into rotary motion. A load cell is coupled to an end of the shaft and positioned to rotate with the shaft. The load cell is configured for generating a measurement indicative of propeller thrust. A propeller is coupled to the load cell and is configured for converting the rotary motion from the shaft and the load cell into the propeller thrust. The propeller thrust can be measured from the load cell as the propeller rotates.
