Monitoring aircrafts structural integrity and building
solutions for space

Fiber Bragg grating based sensor systems have a huge application potential in the aerospace industry.

The small size and weight of FBG sensors make them particularly attractive for space restricted locations and embedding applications, such as in composite structures, often used in the aerospace industry.

Moreover, the passive nature of this technology makes it intrinsically safe becoming a matchless option for applications where ATEX approval is mandatory.

FiberSensing has been delivering sensors and measurement units for the implementation of monitoring subsystems in civil and military aeronautic applications.
