Conception and testing of a new sensor network aboard aircraft has brought the sector closer to developing a radical new system to monitor the health of wiring aboard.
The EU takes pride in boasting a very high safety record when it comes to aircraft, continuously furthering research to improve aviation. Over the decades, many aircraft accidents were attributed to faulty wiring, pushing researchers to upgrade wiring systems and ensure their safety. This was the aim of the EU-funded project SENSWIRING (Harness integrated delocalized sensors network for wiring health monitoring).
