Preventative Maintenance is where we monitor the "health" of a system. If something in the system begins to wear out, we can take it offline for maintenance or repair BEFORE something goes seriously wrong.

In this podcast, we’ll investigate how the Fourier Transform can be used to listen to the health of an airplane's jet engine in much the same way a doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to your heart, a simple, non-invasive procedure that can save lives.

I also answer a listener's question on how the Fourier Transform is used in Filter Banks, as well as giving an update on my progress on the "How the Fourier Transform Works" online course.
