Introduction - MEMS Aerospace Applications

Abstract

After its emergence in the late eighties, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) or MST (Microsystems Technology) has developed into billion dollar commercial markets, in particular in the automotive, medical, and telecommunication fields. The Lecture Series will address applications in the aerospace field, which encounter unique challenges related to harsh environment conditions and reliability requirements. This Introduction will provide a brief introduction into the MEMS technology, discuss examples of commercial and potential aerospace applications, and introduce the lectures, which will focus on six specific aerospace applications.
