|
- Airport FOD are obstacles to the flight safety sector, and FOD are directly or indirectly economic lostdue to aircraft maintenance and delays.
- According to a study by Wright Patterson AFB Aerospace Research Institute in the United States, more than $ 200 million a year has been lost from airport FOD around the world.
- We need to develop of an automatic detection system for airport operation area to prevent the airport safety accident and to increase the efficiency of airport operations.
