Abstract
Fibre-optic strain and shape sensing instrumentation were deployed on rotor blades during a full-speed helicopter ground run. Data were streamed wirelessly from rotor hub-mounted sensor interrogators, providing insights into the blade dynamics excited by pilot inputs to the controls and changes in rotation frequency. This paper explores the challenges of this application and considers means for visualisation of the data.
