First Claim
Patent Images
1. Device for detecting an irregularity in a structure of an aircraft, the device comprising:
- a resonant circuit with a resonance frequency;
a probe for tuning the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit;
wherein the probe is attachable to the structure; and
wherein the resonant circuit and the probe are operably connected in such a way that the probe changes the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit, if the structure changes due to a formation of an irregularity.

Abstract
A device, a system and a method for detecting an irregularity in a structure of an aircraft are proposed. The device includes a resonant circuit with a resonance frequency and a probe for tuning the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit. The resonant circuit and the probe are operatively connected in such a way that the probe changes the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit if the structure changes due to a formation of an irregularity.
