Optical Sensor System for Realtime Proprotor Flapping Angle Monitoring

Objective

The main objective of the proposed project FLAPSENSE is to design and manufacture a contactless measurement system for real time monitoring of proprotor flapping angle. The system will be integrated in the proprotor assembly and co-rotates with the rotor. It will be based on an highly accurate optical sensing method providing the actual flap motion of the rotor blade to the avionic system. The Partners DLR, Hit09 and NLR will closely cooperate in order to design and manufacture a sensor prototype during the project duration. Furthermore the function of the prototype will be demonstrated during a test bench experiment. Besides this demonstration test the development process for the airworthy sensor system will be completed until the CDR in order to pace the way forward for a sensor system for the NextGenCTR Demonstrator.
