Motor vehicles and aircraft are held together by large numbers of threaded fasteners. Many of these fasteners are safety-critical. Failure can be catastrophic and incorrectly torqued fasteners are a prime failure mechanism. Examples include the wing attachment bolts on aircraft, and the fasteners for automotive steering gear, power trains and exhaust systems.
