Airlines operations wish to prevent failures before occurrence, especially during the start sequence. No starts appear in a critical moment because customers are already on board. In addition, line maintenances wish to localize the responsible equipment quickly in order to minimize the delays. The worst case, with poor prevention and poor localisation, may result in flight cancellation. Therefore, a health monitoring system of the start sequence is being developed. The expected impacts are... 

The considered health monitoring system has to detect and localize these failures. Therefore, the effect of these failures on the engine behaviour was explored in order to define significant indicators.

E-textiles may be defined as textiles with electronic properties, and the markets for E-textiles are rapidly growing. An E-textile is an application built within a textile. E-textiles are finding their use in wearable technology, sports and fitness markets, medical and health monitoring systems, sleep apnea monitoring systems, antenna applications, space, military, infotainment, fashion, and others. Conductive tapes, webbings, fabrics, and 3D preforms are being used for E-textile applications. E-textile markets will soon be a billion dollar industry.

Previously, textile fabrics were only used for fashion, appearance, comfort, and protection however, smart textiles can extend the health monitoring system to a modem level by utilizing touch, chemical, and pressure sensors. Adding nanotechnology to smart textiles can open a whole new generation of telemedicine and health care applications.
