Ko Displacement Theory combined with the on-board strain-sensing system (conventional strain gages or fiber optic sensors) form a powerful new patented structure-shape-sensing technology for in-flight deformed shape monitoring of flexible wings and tails. The accuracy of the Displacement Theory was validated using the GIII wing under bending and torsion
