The national councillor, a member of the chinese engineering college, recently told journalists that the new aircraft developed by china on its own will use the technology of networking of goods to establish a health forecasting system for aircraft. The first time, it discovered the erosion of aircraft spare parts, engine operation, metal fatigue, etc., and to increase flight safety factors。
It was described as a “health management system” for aircraft, which would pre-screen aircraft and detect problems and minimize the risk of aircraft flying。
“the detection system, once developed, will be widely used on chinese aircraft.” von peder states that the sensor of the system will be installed in every corner of the aircraft to monitor the operation of the spare parts at any time, and that information will then be transmitted to the ground math model and, as a first step, to the ground-use and manufacturing sectors, so that the problem parts will be promptly overhauled。
“this will be the highest level of the network of items, which means a significant increase in the aircraft safety factor and a possible change in the commercial model of aircraft maintenance.” von peder explains。
Physical networking is an important component of a new generation of information technologies, which connects any object to the internet, exchange information and communications, and achieves intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring and management of objects through information sensor equipment such as radio frequency recognition (rfid), infrared sensors, global positioning systems (gps) and laser scanners。
Von peder states that the “health management system” of the aircraft using the technology of the internet, compared to the current aircraft air traffic recorder “black box”, allows for instant contact on the ground, and that operational information is fed back to the ground wherever the aircraft flies. In addition, the message to be conveyed by the ipnet implementation will be a “black box” message of two or more orders of magnitude。
He revealed that, once technology had matured and could be marketed, all aircraft in china would be equipped with a “health management system”. Research is still under way and will be implemented in phases, and some of the available domestic aircraft will be selected for pilot testing. The system will certainly be installed on c919, a large domestic aircraft that will be marketed in the future。
With regard to when it will succeed, feng peder said that three or five years is fast and eight years is possible。
