This article discusses the problems of creating an integrated system for monitoring the technical condition of highly responsible helicopter units, and analyzed options for its creation. Fiber-optical technology is considered as a technology, on the basis of which it is possible to build an integrated system, since this technology makes it possible to measure various physical parameters such as vibration, deformation, temperature, acoustic emission and other parameters, and due to the miniature dimensions of the fiber-optic light guide. It can be built into the PCM design, which is a relevant factor due to the growth use of PCM in the design and manufacture of helicopters. The results of bench and flight tests of helicopter pilot and rotor blades with fasteners using fiber optic deformation sensors based on a Bragg fiber grille demonstrate the fundamental possibility of creating a system for monitoring the technical condition of helicopter rotors using fiber optic sensors .Also, there are examples of creating other elements of an integrated monitoring system based on the use of fiber-optic technology, such as a system for signaling the breakdown of air flow and flutter on the helicopter rotor blades, a system for measuring the weight and alignment of helicopter cargo and a system for monitoring the technical condition of the airframe.

This article draws attention to the difficulties in developing an integrated approach, especially the evaluation and evaluation of the main helicopter technology. Fiber optic technology is a technology that allows you to create a unified system. This allows the measurement of various physical parameters such as vibration, distortion, temperature, volume and other parameters, given the magnitude of optical fiber science. RMB can be integrated into production, which is an important factor in the amount of RMB related to the design and manufacture of helicopters. The test results, the test bench, and the rotor of the helicopter and light using optical fiber transmission in the Prague fiber optic filter emphasize the importance of developing technology to track the helicopter's use of optical fiber. Other embodiments of the use of optical transmission systems that use fiber-optic technology, such as cable warning of explosives and helicopter damage as well as system weight and transitions. The conduction system monitors air technology.

Circulation control technology has proven itself useful in the area of short take-off and landing (STOL) fixed wing aircraft by decreasing landing and takeoff distances, increasing maneuverability and lift at lower speeds. The application of circulation control technology to vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) rotorcraft could also prove quite beneficial. Successful adaptation to helicopter rotor blades is currently believed to yield benefits such as increased lift, increased payload capacity, increased maneuverability, reduction in rotor diameter and a reduction in noise. Above all, the addition of circulation control to rotorcraft as controlled by an on-board computer could provide the helicopter with pitch control as well as compensate for asymmetrical lift profiles from forward flight without need for a swashplate. There are an infinite number of blowing slot configurations, each with separate benefits and drawbacks. This study has identified three specific types of these configurations. The high lift configuration would be beneficial in instances where such power is needed for crew and cargo, little stress reduction is offered over the base line configuration. The stress reduction configuration on the other hand, however, offers little extra lift but much in the way of increased rotor lifespan and shorter rotor length. Finally, the middle balanced configuration offers a middle ground between the two extremes. With this configuration, the helicopter benefits in all categories of lift, stress reduction and blade length reduction.

Problems of ensuring the safe operation of an aircraft from the point of view of the fatigue life of its structure are considered. The relevance of the creation and implementation of diagnostic systems for monitoring the technical condition of structures of complex technical objects is shown on the example of a helicopter. An original approach to the creation and implementation of complex systems for diagnostics and monitoring of the technical condition of complex technical objects is presented, combining fiber-optic measuring technology and phase-chronometric method. It is shown that the use of monitoring and diagnostic systems ensures the transition to operation based on the actual technical condition. The proposed approach makes it possible to increase the time between overhaul intervals and reduce excess reserves in terms of the reliability factors of structures, which increases the flight performance of aircraft.
