A SURVEY OF HEALTH AND USAGE MONITORING SYSTEM IN CONTEMPORARY AIRCRAFT

Health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS) is a generic term given to activities that utilize data collection and analysis techniques to help ensure availability, reliability and safety of vehicles. Activities similar to, or sometimes used interchangeably with, HUMS include condition-based maintenance (CBM) and operational data recording (ODR). In this paper, a Survey has been conducted on the present usage of H.U.M.S. in contemporary aircraft. The paper broadly explains the purpose, function, working principle, and the objectives of using HUMS in the Aircraft Industry.
