Force sensors for aerospace applications measure compressive, tensile, or shear loads using strain-gauge, piezoelectric, or capacitive sensing elements, with outputs conditioned to analogue voltage, current, or digital protocols such as SPI or CAN bus, and are qualified to RTCA/DO-160 environmental standards for integration into flight-control, landing-gear, and structural health monitoring (SHM) systems.
How many distinct aircraft programs each supplier in this area is linked to in our database — a proxy for how widely established a company is across the industry. Bars are relative to the top-ranked supplier.
Whether supply here is concentrated in a few big players or spread across many. Top-5 share is the portion of all program links held by the five largest suppliers. HHI (Herfindahl–Hirschman Index) runs 0–10,000: under ~1,500 is competitive, over ~2,500 is concentrated.
