DETERMINING BENDING STATE OF AIRCRAFT WING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522340 titled 'DETERMINING BENDING STATE OF AIRCRAFT WING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an aircraft with pressure sensors in the wing to measure liquid pressure and determine the wing's bending state.
- The aircraft includes a wing, first and second pressure sensors, and a processing system.
- Each pressure sensor measures liquid pressure in the wing and has a known position within the wing.
- The processing system receives pressure data from the sensors and determines the wing's bending state based on the data and sensor positions.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the aerospace industry for monitoring and analyzing the structural integrity of aircraft wings during flight.
Problems Solved
1. Monitoring wing bending state in real-time. 2. Ensuring structural safety and performance of aircraft wings.
Benefits
1. Improved safety and maintenance of aircraft. 2. Enhanced efficiency in detecting potential wing issues. 3. Real-time data for better decision-making during flight.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing aircraft maintenance schedules for improved safety and cost-effectiveness.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to pressure sensors in aircraft wings for structural monitoring, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the processing system analyze the pressure data to determine the wing's bending state?
The abstract does not detail the specific algorithms or methods used by the processing system to interpret the pressure data.
Are there any limitations to the accuracy or reliability of the pressure sensors in measuring the wing's bending state?
The abstract does not address any potential challenges or limitations associated with the pressure sensors' performance in different flight conditions.
Original Abstract Submitted
An aircraft including a wing, a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor, wherein each pressure sensor is configured to measure pressure of a liquid within the wing and has a known position within the wing. The aircraft includes a processing system configured to receive first pressure data from the first pressure sensor, receive second pressure data from the second pressure sensor, and determine a bending state of the wing based on the first pressure data, the second pressure data, and the known positions of the first and second pressure sensors within the wing.
