The Hindu Business Line : DRDO tests tech to predict flight failure

Bangalore, Oct. 29

The Aeronautical Development Establishment has reported successful trial of its breakthrough technology that monitors the health of planes and flying objects online even as they are in flight.

Using flight data, it also predicts failures and problems that aircraft may develop, so that corrective action may be taken in time.

The technology, Structural Health Monitoring, will avoid needless grounding of aircraft for inspections, according to a DRDO release. Developed by the ADE and civil laboratory National Aerospace Labs, it was tested in the Nishant indigenous unmanned aerial vehicle at the Kolar airfield on Thursday.

The health monitor can be used on the fighter planes - the light and medium combat aircraft, the fifth generation fighter and various UAVs, ADE said. “Such techniques are going to be extensively used in the future in order to cut down the operational costs of the aircraft and can also lead to reduction in air fares. [They] can prevent flights from danger by pre-warning of the occurrence of failure.”

one point to be noted so many people view it but no one comments on it
i think most of them just c the word DRDO and failure but once they come inside the thread they refrain from commenting

people like to criticize drdo only, even many Indians here, but they don't praise its innovative and world class technologies

But I highly appreciates drdo for this breakthrough technology that monitors the health of planes and flying objects online even as they are in flight. It is a highly complicated technology as it requires precision sensors and extremely complicated algorithms.

Exactly .. DRDO has done lot of beautiful stuff and this algorithm is one of the most complex one and a life saver.... especially for passenger crafts.. But such achievements gets hidden ....

As you said people here scan two words DRDO .... failure .. if the words found then they pounce into the thread... derail it.. do some ranting ... add some masala like slum, povery, toilets etc etc and make the thread useless ...
