Telemetry systems in form of smart transducers designed according to specific needs of aviation testing could simplify test preparation and improve quality of measurements. Rapid growth of IoT technology in the last decade brings bunch of new communication techniques and electronic design possibilities which were not available before. Combination of high computing power, low power electronic design, low power communication protocols and wireless energy transfer could bring new quality of testing. The main motivation of research works is to propose design concept of smart telemetry system that could be more affordable, handful and could simplify way of component testing. The first part of the research was devoted to rotary telemetry. A prototype of the temperature measurement module was designed and built. Tests of telemetry module will be performed on dedicated test bench which could change and measure the rotational speed and temperature. Before test dynamic balancing of the module have to be performed. When system operation is confirmed, the testing will be continue in Ɓukasiewicz Research Network – Institute of Aviation on one of bearing test rigs. In the second phase research will be focused on designing the network of stationary and rotary telemetry modules for aviation testing in laboratory. Final tests will be performed in configuration that will be used in future test campaigns.
