ResumoThe structural health monitoring (SHM) system being developed for the Eurofighter Typhoon is resident on each aircraft and is integrated within existing aircraft and ground-based systems. The system will enable the operators to accurately monitor fatigue life consumption, usage information and significant structural events, thereby safeguarding the structural integrity of the aircraft. The information obtained can be used to plan maintenance actions effectively, and to manage the fleet fatigue life proactively (Hunt S R and Hebden I G, Eurofighter 2000 structural health and usage monitoring: an integrated approach 2nd Joint NASA/FAA/DoD Conf. on Aging Aircraft (Williamsburg, VA, August 31-September 3 1998)).
