Abstract

For many years, the Airbus Test Center has explored new ways of measuring with the optical fiber, mainly Fiber Bragg Grating sensors for temperature, stress, bending... This low intrusive instrumentation procures the advantage to be almost transparent, making aerodynamic effects negligible. Moreover, the insensitivity to the electrical environment due to its high level of galvanic insulation, enables measurement in a high Voltage environment which was nearly impossible with classical sensors. This presentation will describe the main difficulties, benefits and results obtained in the frame of several Flight Tests campaigns.
