Reminds me of an idea I read about, maybe twenty years ago. As you may appreciate, spotting an impending failure in a helicopter can be tricky. So, when you know the helicopter is working well (when new, for example), you attach microphones to its frame and record the vibrations when it's working under various conditions. Thereafter when it comes in for a routine service you repeat this process and compare the recordings. Differences are supposed to help diagnose problems. I never heard any more about this. Did it prove a useless idea -- or has it joined the list of V.Secret Techniques We (*.gov.uk) Do Not Discuss In Public? -- Andrew Stephenson
