Abstract
A monitoring system includes a movable surface of an aircraft, an actuation system for the movable surface of an aircraft including actuators, a first position sensor adapted to measure a position of a first actuator of the actuators and a second position sensor adapted to measure a position of a second actuator of the actuators. The monitoring system also includes a first force sensor adapted to measure forces passing through the first actuator of the actuators and a second force sensor of the at least two force sensors being adapted to measure forces passing through the second actuator of the actuators. The monitoring system also includes a calculator configured to detect skew of the movable surface and excess force passing through the first and/or second actuator from the position obtained by the at least two position sensors and the force measured by the at least two force sensors.
