An aircraft sensor measures physical properties such as pressure and temperature and transforms it into an indication which can be easily understood. Precise response systems and elegant aircraft control systems are enabled by electronic sensors. Sensors assist in evaluating various factors such as monitoring, navigation, and control. Therefore, electronic systems play a vital role in modern aviation. Effective and safe control of over aircraft along with the status of several flight systems and equipment can be control by aircraft sensors. Minor disparities in the aircraft arrangement or in its environment such as electronic sensors failure can lead to severe troubles. The sensors integrated with the aircraft recognize such irregular disparities and alerts the pilot. Such occurrences have stimulated the demand for aircraft sensors in the aviation industry. The aviation industry has witnessed rapid growth in global aircraft sensors market.

There are several types of sensors used in an aircraft which are essential for security and safety as well as for operational purpose. Flow sensors monitor the amount of liquid coolant in motion and lubricating oil as well as the fluid moving in bleeds air systems and fuel transfer. Companies such as Crane Aerospace & Electronics and Esterline Corp. manufacture fuel flow sensors and liquid sensors. Furthermore, Sensata Technologies, Inc. manufactures airflow sensors which monitor air flow. Pressure sensors sense pressure in hydraulic systems, as well as used for braking and raising, moving control surfaces and lowering the landing gear. Firms such as Custom Control Sensors and Esterline Corp. manufactures pressure sensors for aviation; TE Connectivity is a sensor solution provider which offers pressure sensors for use in hydraulic systems, galley applications and cabin comfort for onboard use. The horizontal stabilizer is the most complicated motor on an aircraft and the company deals in sensors which assist to ensure it does not fail.
Position sensors such as linear variable differential transformers (LVDT) monitor the dislocation of different aircraft mechanisms. Force and vibration sensors are used on aircraft to calculate the force and torque in the braking system and flight controls as well as in actuation systems. Temperature sensors play a major role in maintaining the conditions of fuels and refrigerants, hydraulic oils, as well as temperatures in environmental cooling systems. Aircraft is operated by fly-by-computer systems, where indications from sensors monitor the different activities taking place in the aircraft such as pedals, thrust levels, and flight stick. Aircraft computer systems accept data from various sensors, including angle-of-attack probes, air temperature probes and pilot-static pressure systems. The pilots constantly monitor the situation of the engine and environment from the cockpits.
The increasing combination of the Internet of Things (IoT) in aircraft to gain real-time statistics is raising the application and requirement of sensors to produce more accurate data, which is driving the aircraft sensor market. Increasing demand for wireless sensors is further estimated to motivate the market for aircraft sensors. North America displays a major growth in the global aircraft sensors market, owing to the rise in air travel and the appearance of the noticeable manufacturers of aircraft and sensors in the region. The rising demand for new aircraft, improvements in micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) technology and guidelines by the aviation safety organizations have broadly impacted the global market of aircraft sensors. Moreover, the growing demand for sensors in the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) industry is expected to create various market opportunities in the near future. The market players have adopted various strategies, such as new product expansions, contracts, and agreements to strengthen their position in the aircraft sensors market. The key players active in the global aircraft sensors industry include Thales Group, Honeywell International Inc., Raytheon Co., UTC Aerospace Systems, TE Connectivity Ltd., AMETEK, Inc., Safran Electronic & Defense SAS, Meggitt PLC, Curtiss-Wright Corp. and Smith Systems, Inc.
