Turkish Engineer Aydin Akdeniz developed a new system to determine damage to a Boeing plane’s body within five minutes.
Boeing Airline Company is preparing to apply Akdeniz’s “Structural Resistance System” in its 787 models with a composite body that will be come onto the market in 2008. Body maintenance determined in 72 hours will be determined in five minutes using the Turkish engineer’s invention. Akdeniz working for the Boeing Airline Company began to develop the system in 1999. The system following a positive path so far will be placed in planes after completion of the testing process that will be conducted in April 2006.
Damage caused by harsh take off and landings and during loading will be determined by the new system. The system will reduce the maintenance period of the airplanes by 15 percent and will shorten its maintenance process on the ground by two or three days. The developed system has so far been tested on three planes, and three engineers from Turkish Airlines have confirmed their support for the project. Akdeniz confirmed that the outcomes of the test applications have so far been successful and added that design of the 787 has completed. They will reach manufacturing phase next year and the first flight will be realized in 2007, Akdeniz said.
