Abstract
The prediction of actual loads on aircraft structures in service phase is an on-going challenge of particular interest for aircraft manufacturers and operators as it directly impacts the optimization of the aircraft design or the optimization of maintenance scheduling in service phase. The variability of mission history, pilot actions or environmental perturbations, for instance, makes accurate prediction particularly challenging. As part of the IA2021 plan, the french Île-de-France region and Dassault Aviation have organised the challenge "AI Challenge for Industry 2020" whose objective was to develop virtual sensors through learning techniques that estimate the mechanical stress of various structural parts of a Falcon business jet using only the aircraft's onboard instruments. The work presented here is based on the response to this challenge provided by the consortium Aquila Data Enabler and ISAE-Supméca. It introduces the approach implemented to predict the mechanical stress of the structure of a business jet in service phase from flight instruments solely.
