The use of a plastic optical fibre-based sensor for elongation measurements in an aircraft flap subjected to different types of flexural loading conditions is reported. The sensor offers good signal stability and repeatability and represents a cost-effective alternative to other more sophisticated health-monitoring systems currently used. It are reported the results of a series of tests in which a POF-based sensor was used to monitor the deflection of an aircraft flap subjected to different types of loading conditions. The principles of operation of the sensor are explained. Then, it is described briefly the experimental programme followed to carry out the experimental tests. After that, the experimental results are presented and discussed. Finally, the main conclusions are summerized.
