In this paper, the integration of multifunctional smart materials, MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) and smart electronics is presented with examples covering smart structures and devices applicable to aircraft. Some applications include systems for a) noise suppression in aircraft cabin using 'smart wall paper', b) drag sensing and reduction in aircraft, c) sensing and control of ice formation and deicing on aircraft, d) remote measurement of tip deflection of helicopters using MEMS sensor and electronically tunable antenna for communication between sensor and actuators (telemetry device), and f) health monitoring of rotorcrafts using MEMS sensors along with fiber optics sensor and remote antenna system.
