AI-Enabled Flexible Sensing Skin for Next-Generation Aircraft: Toward Embodied Intelligence.
Review in Research (Washington, D.C.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aircraft serve as the intelligent extension of human capabilities into 3-dimensional space. Next-generation aircraft will transcend the limitations of traditional fixed aerodynamic configurations, evolving into embodied intelligent agents capable of sensing their environment, making autonomous decisions, acting collaboratively, and self-evolving-ultimately achieving Fly-by-Feel. Flexible sensing skins, with their unique advantages (ultrathin, lightweight, large-area conformal attachment to the aircraft surface, and adaptive regulation), are emerging as the key enabling technologies. Multi-aerodynamic parameters are acquired through in situ sensing, and artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced decision-making is implemented via edge-deployed chips. Based on this sensing-algorithm collaborative bridge, closed-loop actuation is further realized to support functional implementation. This paper reviews the core composition of the "sensing-decision-regulation" closed-loop system, including aerodynamic disturbance-free in situ sensing and AI-enhanced super-resolution field perception, and demonstrates its applications in 3 key scenarios: anti-icing/deicing, electromagnetic stealth, and lift enhancement/drag reduction. Finally, it highlights the future prospects of programmable intelligent flexible skins, promoting the aircraft's paradigm shift toward intelligence, efficiency, and safety.
