After the performance of the IPCT flight tests on the Piaggio P 180, the aircraft manufacturer Evektor performed an assessment of the image based measurement techniques for propeller deformation measurements. As background the papers and reports, as well as the data obtained by ground and flight tests of DLR and Piaggio [1, 2] were applied. The image based measurement technique IPCT is compared to the commonly applied strain gauge method. An assessment is done more from the practical side of view and effectiveness of the compared methods. Advantages and disadvantages of the assessed methods are analysed and emphasised. Finally, a conclusion and some recommendations for further development are given.
