History Founded in 1916 in the Puget Sound region of Washin gton state.

Became a leading producer of military and commercial aircraft.

Completed a series of strategic mergers and acquisi tions to become the world’s leading aerospace company.

Aerospace pioneer companies now part of Boeing incl ude:


A heritage that mirrors the history of flight


History of innovation

Measurements in the aerospace industry Some paradigms

� Large products, yet very precise� Complex manufacturing� Multiple materials – metals, composites� High production rate (e.g. B737 42 a/c per month)

Copyright © 2014 Boeing. All rights reserved. 16

Our measuments� Quality� Guiding automation� Significant reliance on measurements to build the airplane� Performance � drag, lift, speed; flow of fluids; electric measurements


Air Data Examples – air data EcoDemonstrator 2016

� As a potential replacement for today’s Air Data Systems, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology is installed to measure aircraft speed, angle of attack, temperature and pressure using small lasers. This technology has potential application to improve safety, reduce airplane weight, drag and fuel use



Aerodynamics Example Examples – particle image velocimetry

� Engineers at NASA Langley used lasers inside the 14-by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel map how air flows over a Boeing BWB model

Future – new paradigms

Laser is “the now”!� Accuracy in 3D is limited by the mechanics of steering the beam.� UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) developed very accurate

3D distance in any direction - but no angle measurement� How can we get around the mechanical limitations which are orders

of magnitude larger than the laser’s wave length.


Optimal + imaging measurements� Photogrametry based systems with high accuracy targets� Need to move to precision tracking of natural features – get rid of

targets. Lots of research, but few products at metrology grade � SLAM (simutaneous localization and mapping) and sensor fusion

� It is similar to our experience as human beings getting in a place – “navigating” and “mapping” at the same time. 6-DOF getting to metrology grade... Opportunity here as well!! Computational cost... It is a revolution to come


Shapping the future – working with NIST Important initiatives and trends

� Help buiding the standards to certify sensors and measuments techniques� Boeing is involved in helping this process, showing our requirements and

needs� Most metrology systems are “end user systems” – how can we move into a

network based automated system? Integratable into automated systems.� No communication standards? � Protocols?


� Protocols? � How a metrology system becomes part of a factory system?� Becoming a part of the factory ecosystem, with less participation of the

“human in the loop” – less “end user” approaches

� Take away points: � Systems are more and more integrated� Integration requires common architecture and protocols, etc. “Internet of

measuring things”� All integrated into a factory – imagine building very large Boeing airplanes this

way...

Shapping the Future – in measurement now! ecoDemonstrator 2016

� Systems: As a potential replacement for today’s Air Data Systems, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology is installed to measure aircraft speed, angle of attack, temperature and pressure using small lasers. This technology has potential application to improve safety, reduce airplane weight, drag and fuel use

� Airplane Noise: Developing noise improvements for slat design, located on the wing leading edge, that has the potential to reduce airplane noise on takeoff and approach


takeoff and approach� Aerodynamics: Airflow near the wing surface will

be examined using autonomous sensors and air visualization techniques to better understand in-flight aerodynamics. This analysis could lead to further innovations to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions

� Ice Phobic Paint: The aircraft is painted with “ice phobic” paint that reduces icing and drag. Additionally, due to its adhesion reducing properties, the special paint can help operators save water by reducing the need for frequent aircraft washing

� Biofuels: All test flights will use biofuel blend produced in Brazil: 50 to 80 percent lower carbon emissions through its life cycle than fossil jet fuel
