Abstract
Provided are embodiments including a system for performing aircraft overheat detection using fiber optic monitoring of light reflectance changing temperature strips. Embodiments also include a sensing strip configured to detect a temperature of an object, a controller configured to monitor the sensing strip, and a fiber optic cable configured to transmit or receive a light signal to the sensing strip, wherein the fiber optic cable is operably coupled to the sensing strip and the controller. Embodiments also include a method for operating an aircraft overheat detection system.
