The installation of high power computer hardware on the present generation of civil airlines has enabled the introduction of sophisticated airborne diagnostic systems to assist in the maintenance of critical aercraft control systems. The paper descibes the current research work underway at British Aerospace Commercial Aircraft (Filton) in developing a real time condition monitoring system for the complex mechanisms used to actuate aircraft 'high lift' moving surfaces. In parallel with efforts to design out some of the in-service problems, the paper reviews the need for and perceived benefits of a condition monitoring system. The described monitoring system is intended not only to warn of the approaching failure of these devices but also identify the cause and thus facilitate convenient and rapid correction.
