Abstract This chapter describes and discusses the evolution of structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies for aircraft. The introduction gives the importance of SHM, its application potential and the principal constituents. This is followed first by a description of strain monitoring systems and HUMS and then of damage monitoring systems. Two major classes of techniques—namely acoustic waves and fibre optics—are described and reviewed. A few applications are also highlighted. Issues and strategies for implementation of SHM are discussed, indicating the path forward.
