Abstract
A new system is described that is able to detect mechanical failures in a rotating shaft or shafts such as those which may be found in an aircraft or other mechanical device or vehicle. The system comprises a first accelerometer provided on the rotating shaft to be monitored and a reference accelerometer provided elsewhere. The system can compensate information received from these accelerometers so as to determine a fault in the rotating shaft that is being monitored.
