otorcraft maintenance is undergoing a digital overhaul. It’s not just a matter of computers being used to diagnose and fix rotorcraft; as a whole, the industry is shifting from reactive fix-it-when-it-breaks maintenance to a data-driven, preventive maintenance model. This is possible due to the data that modern rotorcraft generate during their flight and ground operations,
and the ability of that data to be fed into AI- enabled monitoring and analysis platforms.
In this exclusive Rotor Pro report, experts from
Bell, Leonardo Helicopters-U.S.,
Robinson Helicopter Company, and Sikorsky detail how these next-generation digital tools are rewriting the rules of crewed and uncrewed rotorcraft support.
