efficiency. By leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms and data


enables more


autonomous flight capabilities, improves predictive maintenance, optimizes flight paths, and enhances safety measures.


From revolutionizing helicopter design and testing to supporting real-time decision making in complex operational environments, AI is pivotal in reshaping the future of rotary-wing aviation. This integration of cutting-edge technology promises to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance the overall performance of helicopter fleets worldwide.


For Leonardo Helicopters, AI is integral to achieving its mission to its customers. Leonardo’s primary objective is to guarantee in-flight safety by delivering helicopters featuring the highest safety levels. This approach to safety is at the heart of all activities,


helicopters, ushering in a new era of innovation and


from design and production to customer services, ensuring that all aircraft meet the most rigorous safety standards.


The latest integration of AI into Leonardo Helicopters is through its support network, specifically with the launch of its Diagnostic Services Tower. Leonardo’s Diagnostic Services Tower is a state-of-the-art facility developed by Leonardo Helicopters to enhance the maintenance and support of its helicopter fleet.


Located in both Sesto Calende, Italy, and, as of 2025, Leonardo Helicopters Philadelphia (AWPC), this center processes real-time data from over 4,500 helicopters, including more than 1,300 equipped with sensors on critical components. These sensors monitor operational and flight activities, providing valuable insights into each aircraft’s performance.


At the heart of the Diagnostic Services Tower is the DaVinci-1 high-performance computer that analyzes the vast amounts of data collected. This advanced
