    摘要: A method for computerized aircraft fault isolation includes, at a computing device, receiving a current maintenance-related pattern that includes a set of one or more digital maintenance messages reported during a flight of an aircraft. The current maintenance-related pattern is compared to a digital maintenance records database that includes a plurality of historical maintenance-related patterns observed during prior aircraft flights, each associated with an indication of one or more aircraft parts that, when replaced, resolved an underlying fault corresponding to the historical maintenance-related pattern. Based on an adaptive similarity threshold, a selected set of historical maintenance-related patterns are computer-identified as corresponding to the current maintenance-related pattern. A selected aircraft part associated with the selected set of historical maintenance-related patterns is computer-identified as a candidate for replacement on the aircraft to address the current maintenance-related pattern.

    摘要: A method for providing an operational state of a monitored landing gear of an aircraft comprises : obtaining (501) in real-time captured signals, such as images, of an actual position of the monitored landing gear; transforming (502) the captured signals in a descriptor vector using Principal Components Analysis; injecting (503) the descriptor vector in a machine learning-based model trained and configured to transform descriptor vectors into equivalent operational states of landing gears; and providing (504) the operational state of the monitored landing gear to avionics of the aircraft. Thus, a quantity of sensors used to monitor landing gears of aircrafts is reduced.

    摘要: An example method (300) performed by a computing system (100) for determining a maintenance interval (102) for a subject aircraft configuration (104) comprises obtaining sensor data (150) reported by an electronic system (144) of a population (140) of the subject aircraft configuration (104). The method (300) further comprises obtaining a failure mode definition (172) that identifies a set of failure modes (210) involving a component (221) of the subject aircraft configuration (104). The method (300) further comprises implementing a first predictive model (120, 122, 124) to determine a first lifetime-probability distribution (261) of a failure mode (211, 212, 213) involving the component (221) based on the sensor data (150). The method (300) further comprises implementing a second predictive model (120, 122, 124) that differs from the first predictive model (120, 122, 124) to determine a second lifetime-probability distribution (262) of a failure mode (211, 212, 213) involving the component (221) based on the sensor data (150). The method (300) further comprises determining a maintenance interval (102) for the component (221) based on the first lifetime-probability distribution (261) and the second lifetime-probability distribution (262).

    摘要: Systems and methods for determining an operation time of an aircraft are described. The method includes the following steps: identifying (210) direct damage information on a surface of a metallic component (12) of an aircraft, wherein the direct damage information include a dimension of a damage area, an absolute position of the damage area on the aircraft, and a relative position of the damage area with regard to fasteners and/or other design features of the aircraft; determining (220) a knock-down-factor of the metallic component based on a database that includes an assignment of direct damage information and fatigue performance of the metallic component; determining (230) an operation time for the aircraft based on the knock-down-factor.
