(Image: Alexander Hilgarth / Universität Würzburg) - Using a sensor film to monitor how well aircraft and spacecraft withstand the mechanical stresses of flight: Würzburg researchers have received a prize for this idea, which comes with a lot of money. There is great joy at the Chair of Aerospace Information Technology: Alexander Hilgarth and Professor Sergio Montenegro were successful in the international INNOspace Masters competition. They won second prize with their idea for a sensor film that can be applied to the components of aerospace vehicles and is monitoring them during flight. The award is linked to funding of up to 400,000 euros. The researchers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, want to use the money to make the sensor film ready for its first application.
