Abstract
The present application relates to a method of forming a structural portion of a fuel tank for an aircraft in which the structural portion is formed from a fibre reinforced polymer and a sensor is integrated in the structural portion. The method includes providing a fibre ply which acts as a structural component, and embroidering an electrically conductive wire in a predetermined pattern on the fibre ply to form the sensor. The fibre ply acts as a sensor substrate. Furthermore, the method includes applying a polymer matrix to the fibre ply so that the fibre ply and electrically conductive wire are covered by the polymer matrix. The present application also relates to a fuel tank for an aircraft, a fuel quantity indicating system, and an aircraft.
