Zusammenfassung:A system for monitoring propeller health includes a processing unit having a processor which is programmed to apply a plurality of algorithms to inputted aircraft parameter data. The system also includes a plurality of data inputs for inputting aircraft parameter data into the algorithms, wherein the processor is configured to apply the physics based algorithms to the aircraft parameter data to determine at least the fatigue life consumption of one or more critical components of a propeller. In addition, the system includes an output device which is able to output an indication of the determined fatigue life consumption to an observer.
