Airborne has a high focus on the engineering of robust and reliable tidal blades, and other composite structures for that matter, adding value to tidal blades from which the Airborne customers can benefit. The development of a WiFi small optical fibre monitoring system that can be embedded inside a composite structure does exactly that. The information that can be obtained can be used for optimizing the design , thus increasing cost effectiveness, and can be used for determining maintenance intervals and monitoring real life performance. Airborne is proud to have been a partner in the SMARTFIBER FP7 project. Click here and here to read more about this project.
