Using similarity numbers for the diagnostics of aircraft hydrogenerator

Abstract

In aviation, great emphasis is placed on aircraft safety. The current technical condition of the aircraft and its systems is an important parameter for its airworthiness. In this respect, the usage of diagnostics without disassembly is considered an advantage. This method provides information on the technical condition of the aircraft or its parts throughout their operational and technical life. The technical condition of the elements measured during a flight should be compared to parameters specified by the manufacturer and measured in laboratory conditions. This article deals with the possibility of the use of dimensionless numbers for the diagnostics of the hydro generator.
