Abstract

An assembly is provided for an aircraft. This aircraft assembly includes a fuselage and a second system. The fuselage includes a wall and a hatch configured to close an opening in the wall. The sensor system includes an optical fiber, a transmitter and a receiver. The optical fiber is arranged at an interface between the hatch and the wall. The transmitter is configured to transmit first electromagnetic radiation into the optical fiber. The receiver is configured to detect second electromagnetic radiation received from the optical fiber to provide receiver data. The sensor system is configured to detect fluid leakage across the interface between the hatch and the wall based on the receiver data.
