and predictive maintenance, we’re also using AI-powered diagnostic software to analyze data from our aircraft and identify potential issues,” said Schmidt. “This software uses machine learning algorithms to analyze patterns in the data and identify anomalies, which enables us to detect potential problems before they occur.”
Leonardo is advancing several initiatives in the digital toolbox arena, with a strong focus on harnessing AI, advanced analytics, and immersive training technologies to enhance rotorcraft this

“At is
the our center of Diagnostic
Services Tower (DST), a state-of-the-art facility that processes data from more than 4,500 helicopters worldwide,” said Andrea Campagna, Leonardo Helicopters U.S. director of Customer Support and Services for the Americas. “More than 1,300 aircraft are now equipped with advanced sensors, which transmit real-time operational data into our digital ecosystem.”
Initially based in Sesto Calende, Italy, Leonardo’s DST was moved to an expanded facility in Philadelphia this year. “It continuously monitors flight and operational data, powered by our DaVinci-1 high-performance computer,” Campagna told Rotor Pro magazine. “Beyond predictive maintenance, the DST also supports training and simulation environments. By integrating real-world data into virtual reality (VR) modules, we provide pilots and technicians with highly realistic training that prepares them for both.”
Value of Digitization
It takes a lot of time and money to digitize rotorcraft maintenance. Fortunately, the experts believe that digitizing these processes is well worth the effort. “These digital tools will reduce aircraft downtime and improve efficiency,” Smith said. “By providing a clean, mobile-friendly digital workflow and instant access to critical information, they will enhance technician efficiency and reduce training time. The use of real-time, AI-driven analytics also enables a proactive supply chain, helping
