Future Landing Gear 2 (FLG2) Research Project Consortium Airbus (Consortium Leader) Smart Fibres Project Description The FLG2 project (funded through Innovate UK) represents a further development on the results achieved during the ASHLEY Project. The main goal of FLG2 for Smart Fibres is the development of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based and contactless: Position Sensing Device (proximity sensor) – meant to determine the correct closure of bulk cargo doors and landing gear bay. Advanced tachometer – destined to monitor the wheel speed on the landing gear when the breaks are being applied. Both sensors will be applied on the landing gear of Airbus’ commercial aircraft. Challenges for Smart Fibres High performance: Fast response time High levels of accuracy and sensitivity Dimensional const
