4.2.2 fiber optic

Fiber optic networks use light pulses to transmit high-bandwidth data through flexible glass or plastic fibers, offering independence from electromagnetic interference. These networks are crucial for transmitting complex sensor data from flight control and structural health systems in real time. Challenges in developing these networks lie in the high fragility of optical fibers and the complexity of repairing them in field maintenance environments.
