"BAE Systems" creates a "smart" cover for aircraft

British “BAE Systems” decided to simplify the process of ground maintenance of aircraft, which includes a time-consuming complex of procedures for taking the aircraft to the parking lot, preparing it for flight and releasing it, the agency reports Russian weapons.

To this end, the company began developing a high-tech way to reduce the cost of diagnosing aircraft.

“Thanks to tens of thousands of micro-sensors, specialists of the British company BAE Systems expect to create a completely new type of“ smart skin ”that can diagnose damage to the aircraft and transmit this data to the operator”- stated on the agency website.

The company itself notes that their “smart skin” for airplanes “is capable of“ sensing ”the temperature, speed, strength and direction of the wind in a way that human skin could feel and transmit the corresponding impulses back to the brain.” According to the researchers, “the use of such coverage can not only reduce the time for diagnosing an aircraft, but also reduce the number of personnel involved in such a process.”

In addition, the “smart” coating will be able to warn the staff in advance about the part that needs to be replaced. And although this cover is only being developed, scientists are confident that they will be able to create sensors that do not exceed the grain size, which can then be sprayed onto all existing aircraft.

WHAT IS THE PRICE of this miracle? will work out and there’s not enough money to make

[Giant thought]

The idea is not bad, what will come out of it, let's see, we should not rush to conclusions so far.

[afire]

the next long-term money laundering program, which at the exit will not have the declared grandiose effect.
My opinion.

the next long-term money laundering program, which at the exit will not have the declared grandiose effect.
My opinion.

And WHO 20 years ago could believe in a phone (tablet), only a description of the functions of which takes a couple of sheets, while it is also POSSIBLE to CALL from it (about and-no, then conversations were just beginning) from almost anywhere, and there is a flash drive for several dozens of GIGOVs, the size of a fingernail (when the PC memory weighed a maximum of several hundred meters). At the same time, this "miracle" is like a box MORE or LESS than normal vodyara ??? !!! And this is not nonsense, but reality !!!
So you don't have to give up on such ideas, but CAREFULLY track and work YOURSELF, the world is changing VERY FAST (so you don't have to beg for the "hillock" later) !!! (IHMO)

[Ivan Petrovich]

technologies are developing so rapidly ... although we take a lot for granted :)

[afire]

Have I ever written somewhere that the amers will not succeed ???
Friends, you are beguiled!
I don’t exclude that they will succeed, but the cost-effectiveness will be extremely small, and what they are talking about needs to be THINKED AND REALIZED, and for some reason no one takes into account some insurmountable physical principles that they may stumble upon when developing!
and then you go, swagger

Something you are confusing my friend, this is not "Rusnano"!

[armageddon]

Hmm ... As they say the flag in hand ... Wait and see !!!

[jovanni]

And when an enemy missile approaches, this "skin" will shrink and shout "Help me please!"

[vitaliy707]

The Americans again decided to wash the money, on f-35 they didn’t launder badly and once again ruin the poor American people, and not to do the first prodigy like Hitler looking for a miracle weapon for a final victory.

Actually, the "Americans" live in America, but here it is written in Russian - a British company.

[Wiruz]

Yes, the moderators will forgive me for being "out of darkness", but I found a video about how a Russian-American talks about Western saktsii

[Turik]

no bro, you're in the subject. Video test.

Well, the coatings - to hell with them.
It won’t work out - okay, the money will be wasted.
Will come out - also okay, the Chinese will still snatch technology.

[Akvadra]

When the rocket hits the backside, then this skin will "squeal"!

[tomket]

it all ends with the introduction of the staff of technicians and equipment that will service all this coverage and sensors.

[Barakuda]

It’s easier to process the file later.

[An60]

Nanonadfilom!

[MBA78]

not far from it, lightning will flash and the apparatus to a landfill ...

They haven’t developed sensors yet, but they’re gambling! For a couple of years we’ll learn how to spray, a couple of years to integrate into a common system, fine-tune the data transfer system, then create a diagnostic program, etc., etc., I forgot about the sensors. In general, I thought about the right thoughts for years seven. And immediately into production, testing later. In general, when Russia launches the seventh generation of aircraft, it will be ready! Good luck.

In general, right thoughts for seven years

Hmm, another seven years you can scuff and pin up, then - scratch your turnips!

[Juborg]

The idea is good. But for smart skin, again, you need to create protection against damage, otherwise it will come off like a epidermis in a person peeling off (according to the allegory of the article, a comparison). While this is fantastic, but not far off and such a reality.

[Barakuda]

In my opinion, complete nonsense, until the pilot hands touches the whole plane and strokes, ours do not sit in the cockpit. I am silent about the price of the development miracle.

Totally agree!

[Wiruz]

No, well, in time it will probably be more economical, but in terms of money ... They already have a small public debt

[Metlik]

It is unclear how the data from the sensors will be transmitted to the computer. Wires to each stretched?

[Barakuda]

They have Wi-Fi and a fresh.

Each "grain" -sensor has a 100Mb network cable!

[D-SAVA]

"Cool idea" in general well done, the F-35 has already been made jointly by Americans, it still cannot fly normally !!!
GOOD LUCK !!! :)))

[Barakuda]

"Good luck" where, in .opu?

[HAM]

Hopefully it will be "pebbled leather."

[JonnyT]

in general, there is a grain of rationality in this development! But only I very much doubt that something like this will appear in the next 50 years. I'm talking specifically about "intellectual material"

If you notice, the technological gap between different countries rarely exceeds 10 years, for a very simple reason.
Having developed the next generation of various technologies, the previous generation begins to sell. (Even to potential opponents through dummies)
For two reasons:
1. To make money by squeezing all its commercial potential out of technology.
2. Spur on their developers, creating them an artificial competition / threat.
(For example, there is a version that the states once "played up" the KGB in stealing nuclear technologies in order to justify the appetites of their military-industrial complex, which was threatened with stagnation with the end of WWII, to spur technological progress through military research, and to consolidate their society, cultivating for themselves " strong external enemy ")

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

The occupation, frankly, is highly doubtful ... However, if Rusnano had engaged in something similar, I would probably have applauded. Although not. The redhead will spoil everything.

[DMB-75]

... maybe sometime, I also love fiction.

[max702]

Of the declared char-ticks, I did not understand for whom it was this skin? What can they learn with the help of the received information? If the external crack is understandable (but with the help of conventional diagnostic tools this is not a problem), but if the internal? What will these numerous sensors capture and transmit? And most importantly, for what? Now, if they get such a radar on the whole area for hypersensitivity, or a masking effect or even absorbing radio coverage, then maybe it will be sensible and it will be drunk ...

I can not boast of a reference to the source but I read, not so long ago in "AiF" that such an idea is being developed and we have it for use in the RF Air Force .. it flashed and it was not heard more .. either it was classified .. or just the idea .. I believe that it was just classified and generally around shpien

[Dejavu]

It is wonderful that the "skin" will feel everything, but why does the plane need all this?

[AIR ZNAK]

If, for running the model in the TsAGI pipe, then it is understandable Instead of strips of paper. A MAN makes an assessment of the external state of the glider skin before departure and after landing. Not a single machine will copy and replace it.

[propolsky]

The idea is of course interesting, the pilot in the land and in flight receives information about the icing of the plane, and do not think, what is there on the wing and fuselage? Class!

[potjen]

The Americans with their toys, to tell the truth, have already got it. I probably will not be mistaken that the United States has the largest frail army in the world, in which criminals, drug addicts, stupid people can calmly serve (the IQ level of an average soldier in the American army worries the Americans themselves), nontraditional sexes (all sorts of gays, etc.), and , attention, pregnant women (!!!!!!). Therefore, while the sshasty are printing the dollar as much as they want, they can acquire all sorts of toys, and as soon as the pisis crisis comes (and it is not far off) their toys will not save, because they do not know how to fight, so to speak, "hand-to-hand", they do not want to, and apparently, they cannot.

Perhaps that is why they want to replace people with technology. And worldview, as I understand it, someone wants to remove their dependence on them, since interests contradict the will of the majority. Although in terms of development, an interesting point. Not an idea, it is already implemented by nature in the form of a nervous system. And in the possibilities of modern civilization. I think sooner or later this will be done, but the beginning should someday be. It’s just that the Americans have more opportunities at this stage, including through the establishment of control over the global economy. They rot everyone in a row (Europe, for example, is no exception) and this is mine, then mine, there are also interests.
