Abstract:
One of the characteristic aircraft damages is impact by foreign object. In subsequent operation, the presence of impact damages to airframes made of polymer composite materials (PCM) leads to a violation of their structures and integrities. To avoid accidents it is necessary to identify and measure the parameters of such damages. The paper analyzes literature data, impact tests results and ultrasonic control of PCM samples. PCM samples represent plates. Dependences of PCM samples defect size on impact energy are revealed. It is shown that at energy of effect in a range 10…45 J damages with the linear sizes 25…70 mm are formed. The difference of the damages sizes on facing and turnaround surfaces of PCM samples is noted. The largest number of procedures in aviation is visual inspection with the naked eye or using any additional equipment. Its main disadvantage in relation to composite products is the fundamental inability to detect barely visible impact damage and internal defects that do not extend to the surface. The technology of impact damage detection using special impact -sensitive luminescent smart coatings with optical properties allows to improve the visual inspection procedure qualitatively. The result of the research is to define the permissible range of coating sensitivity. The luminescent smart coating operating range is determined: 10…20 J. Luminescent smart coating is developed for detection of barely visible impact damage on composite airframes.

Abstract:
It requires a damage tolerance assessment for all airframes and engines to set the inspection windows for safe operation. A certain rotorcraft main rotor yoke were analyzed with NASGRO model. The sensibility analysis of influence parameters in crack growth life has been done. In order to calculate the sensibility index of influence factors to crack growth life, the factors were divided into input parameters and crack growth model parameters. The results show that the input parameters have the following precedence ordering: fatigue crack growth threshold, fracture spectrum, initial crack, fracture toughness, the sensibility values are 11.25, 8.5417, 0.8333, 0.1125, respectively. The NASGRO model parameters have the following precedence ordering: n, p, C, q. the sensibility values are 6.0417, -3.9583, 1.25, 0.1812, respectively.

Abstract:
In the past three years, there has been rapid progress in the use of drones in society. Drones, which were previously used only experimentally in various industrial fields, are now being used in earnest in everyday operations. Drones are becoming indispensable tools in several industrial fields, such as surveying, inspection, and agriculture. At the same time, there has also been dramatic progress in autonomous drone technology. With the advancement of image processing, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and artificial intelligence technologies, many intelligent drones that apply these technologies are being researched. At the same time, our knowledge of multi-rotor helicopters, the main type of drones, has continued to deepen. As the strengths and weaknesses of multi-rotor helicopters have gradually become clearer, drones with alternate structures, such as flapping-wing drones, have come to attract renewed attention. In addition, the range of applications for drones, including passenger drones, has expanded greatly, and research on unprecedented drone operations, as well as research on systems and controls to ensure operational safety, is actively being conducted. This special issue contains the latest review, research papers, and development reports on autonomous drones classified as follows from the abovementioned perspectives. · Research on drone airframes and structures · Research on drone navigation and recognition with a focus on image processing · Research on advanced drone controls · Research and development of drone applications We hope that the readers will actively promote the use of drones in their own research and work, based on the information obtained from this special issue.

This paper is devoted to a discussion and solution of the following problems: Determination of mean value and variance of estimates of parameters of fatigue crack growth model for both the corroded and non‐corroded types of specimens; Inspection modeling with the use of the Monte Carlo method for calculation of probability of fatigue failure as a function of inspection number; Determination of the number of inspections required for the limitation of fatigue failure probability; Comparison of required reliability for corroded and non‐corroded cases. Special programs have been developed for necessary calculations. It was confirmed that the influence of corrosion has a great impact on the required number of inspections.

Abstract:
Fatigue is the mechanism of progressive damage which may ultimately limit the economic life of an airframe. However, there is an intrinsic variability in the life of nominally identical structures subjected to alternating loads. Currently, the uncertainty in the estimated fatigue lives is accounted for in design by applying ‘scatter factors’ to the results of full-scale fatigue tests or to deterministically calculated lives. An alternative approach is to perform a reliability analysis to ensure that the weaker members of an aircraft fleet will meet the design aims with a pre-defined level of reliability. This paper aims to develop and apply analytical models required to: determine the safe-life or inspection threshold for a given fleet size with a prescribed reliability and review and revise the inspection programme based on the results of in-service inspections.

Abstract:
In airworthiness assurance, while there is a long tradition of measuring inspection reliability for machine-aided Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI), the more common visual inspection has received little attention. Yet inspection reliability measurements are needed if we are to set appropriate inspection intervals for airframe components. Visual inspection of aircraft is characterized as using multiple senses (despite its name) and having to inspect for multiple fault types, in contrast to NDI which is used for single specific fault types. The study here used 12 professional inspectors to perform nine visual inspection tasks on a long-service Boeing 737 aircraft. Each inspector worked over two days. Measures were taken of performance, strategy and individual differences. Only a fraction of the results are presented here, with a major finding that aircraft visual inspection has approximately the same reliability as industrial inspection. Individual differences were found, as well as correlations between certain aspects of performance and individual characteristics such as Field Independence and Peripheral Visual Acuity. However, there was little correlation between an individual inspector's performance on the different tasks, showing the difficulty of designing selection and placement procedures for such a wide-ranging job.

Abstract:
Research on civil aircraft inspection and maintenance has shown the potential for employing human factor interventions in improving performance. A series of training experiments was developed to understand the effects of different training interventions in the visual inspection domain. This paper reports on preliminary results obtained in applying a combined active and progressive part training scheme in improving the decision making performance for a visual inspection task. The task was a computer simulated airframe visual inspection task.

Abstract:
The H160-B is the latest helicopter design from AIRBUS HELICOPTERS with the extensive use of sandwich technology in the airframe. A sandwich with face sheets from CFRP and honeycomb cores is a robust outer skin of a helicopter. Furthermore it shows a very good tolerance to impact damages and a very good reparability. At Airbus Helicopters great experience is available which is required to understand and to control all manufacturing parameters, that are driving the quality of such parts. Powerful inspection technologies are in place to maintain the high level of manufacturing quality. In this paper an overview of the parts on this Helicopter made with sandwich technology will be given. These are cowlings and structural parts as well as principal structural elements (PSE) on main load paths. The respective certification requirements and related means of compliance demonstrations will be explained in detail. Special attention is paid to the applied methods for the damage tolerance demonstration of sandwich. The design and strength analysis was done with a combination of FEM analysis and analytical method, using basic allowable derived and validated by tests.
