Abstract
We explore the application of the smart structures concept to fighter aircraft. The discussion addresses the issues of survivability of the structure during flight and combat, and the supportability of the aircraft as a weapon system. Smart structures concepts offer promise in both of these areas. We also present data from initial investigations of fiber optic sensors embedded within composite panels and bonded to aluminum specimens. The sensors detect the occurrence of impact and measure the strain.Keywords
