Recent tragic accidents have focused attention on the dangers of unmonitored helicopter dynamic assemblies. Methods are available to monitor the entire power train from the engine to the rotor. Apart from the obvious safety advantages, such systems offer the additional benefits of increased availability, a planned maintenance schedule and a reduction in life cycle costs. Historically, monitoring systems have evolved from isolated processing units, each performing single functions. Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Ltd., in conjunction with Stewart Hughes Ltd. is developing a modular and integrated health and usage monitoring system. After a brief discussion of health monitoring equipment evolution, this paper focuses on the practical application of the techniques required to ensure the health of the modern helicopter.
