Real Time Application of Sensors

 

Real Time Application of Sensors

The example we are talking about here is the Autopilot System in aircrafts. Almost all civilian and military aircrafts have the feature of Automatic Flight Control system or sometimes called as Autopilot.

 

An Automatic Flight Control System consists of several sensors for various tasks like speed control, height monitoring, position tracking, status of doors, obstacle detection, fuel level, maneuvering and many more. A Computer takes data from all these sensors and processes them by comparing them with pre-designed values.

The computer then provides control signals to different parts like engines, flaps, rudders, motors etc. that help in a smooth flight. The combination of Sensors, Computers and Mechanics makes it possible to run the plane in Autopilot Mode.

All the parameters i.e., the Sensors (which give inputs to the Computers), the Computers (the brains of the system) and the mechanics (the outputs of the system like engines and motors) are equally important in building a successful automated system.
