Condition monitoring of aircraft mechanical systems is shown to be the next stage in the development of lower cost higher quality maintenance systems. The paper focuses upon mechanical drive systems for the high lift surfaces at the leading and trailing edge of aircraft wings. Monitoring is shown to be feasible and, as well as leading to reduced costs and improved maintenance, could lead to future weight reduction through the approved use of lower safety factors in structural design. The research has shown that mechanical systems of this nature should not be regarded simply as ‘black boxes’ with inputs and outputs. To obtain the full benefits of condition monitoring at low cost, detailed knowledge of the characteristics and behaviour of the system as a whole must be acquired.
