A rapid measurement method for residual deformation of aircraft structures

Abstract

Residual fuselage deformation measurement is vital for comprehensive evaluation of aircraft structural strength and loads to ensure flight safety. However, the existing measurement methods have problems such as low automation and long time spent on data interpretation. This paper proposes a digital rapid measurement method for residual deformation of aircraft structures, which can quickly generate a measurement network construction scheme through digital station deployment and virtual simulation. Further, the automatic measurement and real-time data processing based on the remote control technology. The results show that the method can effectively assist the field decision and significantly improve the efficiency of flight test.
