This article is connected with 6FP Euro project AISHA. The basic purpose of the project is development of the structural health monitoring (SHM) system integrated into a structure. Progressive methods and means of the control over use of ultrasonic technology are developed. In thin-walled structures it uses properties of elastic Lamb waves. The final stage provides carrying out of full-scale fatigue tests on components of real aviation structures for demonstration of working capacity and efficiency of methods and means of the non-destructive testing. One of the objects of full-scale testing is the helicopter MI-8 tail beam.
