Tech Briefs Magazine featured a great article highlighting Optical Strain for Precision Measurements and Certification. This article gives an overview of why Full-field Optical Strain is crucial for composites, where with the complexity of materials and designs, single-point sensors (strain gages & clip gauges) are no longer relevant. Small Urban Air Mobility (UAM/AAM) companies need to be able to validate their complex composite materials and designs to the FAA, and the FAA wants to make it easier for these small companies to navigate the certification process, in what the FAA Director of Aircraft Certification described as a “New Golden Age of Aerospace”.
