Aerospace & Aviation

Sensor applications in the aerospace industry play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of aircraft and spacecraft. Sensors record and measure physical variables such as temperature, pressure, acceleration and position in order to provide information about the condition of the aircraft or spacecraft, and in aviation, for example, sensors are used to monitor the engines. Temperature sensors monitor the engine temperature and ensure that it remains within safe limits. Pressure sensors measure the air pressure in the aircraft and support the pilots in maintaining the correct cabin pressure. Acceleration sensors are used to detect and control aircraft movements, and in space travel, sensors are crucial for accurately determining the position and orientation of spacecraft. Gyroscope sensors record the rotational movements of the spacecraft and enable the astronauts to determine their position in space. Pressure sensors are used to monitor the air pressure inside the spacecraft and ensure that it remains sealed, and sensors are also used in aerospace to monitor structural components. Strain sensors measure the load on components and help to detect possible damage or signs of fatigue, while the continuous development of sensor technologies makes it possible to carry out ever more precise and reliable measurements. This helps to further improve the safety and efficiency of aircraft and spacecraft.
