Abstract
A wing deformation monitoring and analysis system includes at least one image sensor installed on a portion of the aircraft such that at least one wing of the aircraft is located in a field of view (FOV) of the at least one image sensor. The image sensor outputs at least one image signal representing a captured wing image of the at least one wing. An electronic deformation controller is configured to compare the captured wing image to a nominal wing image, determines a deformation of the at least one wing based on the comparison.
