The continued growth in air traffic has placed an increasing demand on the aerospace industry to manufacture aircraft at lower costs, while ensuring the products are efficient to operate, friendly to the environment and that the required level of safety is maintained. The primary objective of the aerospace industry is to offer products that not only meet the operating criteria in terms of payloads and range but also significantly reduce the Direct Operating Costs (DOCs) incurred by their customers, the airlines. The structure of today's commercial transport aircraft is designed considering the current and forthcoming airworthiness regulations, the customers requirements and manufacturing aspects. No health monitoring systems were considered for today's large transport aircraft. In the future Health Monitoring Systems will play a major rule in ensuring the structural integrity of aircraft structures. A bundle of SHM related technologies are needed to fulfill the requirements of the aircraft manufacturer and the operator. The presentation will give an overview about the activities on SHM and on the technologies under research and development within Airbus. It will start with the description of these technologies and will end with a statement about the requirements, which have to be fulfilled to use SHM systems in In-Service aircraft. An outlook on Upstream technologies in the field of SHM, like Nanotechnology and intelligent coatings, will finalize the presentation.
