Abstract: According to one example embodiment, an aircraft fleet maintenance system includes a maintenance analysis engine and an operator feedback system. The maintenance analysis engine is configured to receive, from each of a plurality of aircraft maintainers, feedback information associated with how each of the aircraft maintainers performed an aircraft maintenance action and to compile the received feedback information from two or more of the plurality of aircraft maintainers to yield compiled maintenance trend data. The operator feedback system is configured to transmit the compiled maintenance trend data to at least one of the plurality of aircraft maintainers.

Abstract: In some aspects, a wireless system is configured for estimating a thickness of a material layer on a surface of an aircraft. The wireless system includes a tag device located beneath a material layer. The tag device is capable of transmitting an electromagnetic signal in response to an electromagnetic signal. In some aspects, a transceiver device is configured to estimate the thickness of a material layer on a surface of an aircraft. The transceiver can be configured to communicate with a tag using electromagnetic signals. The transceiver can include one or more processors configured to measure signal strength and correlate the signal strength to the thickness of a material layer.

Abstract: A multi-engine power system is described that includes at least a first engine and a second engine configured to jointly provided mechanical power to the multi-engine power system. The multi-engine power system further includes a controller configured to estimate a deterioration factor of the first engine. The controller is further configured to adjust, based on the deterioration factor of the first engine, a first amount of mechanical power being provided by the first engine to increase a service time of the first engine, and adjust, based on the first amount of mechanical power being provided by the first engine, a second amount of mechanical power being provided by the second engine to compensate for the adjustment to the first amount of mechanical power.

Abstract: One embodiment is a system including a component for installation on a vehicle comprising a central maintenance computer (“CMC”); a configuration/maintenance module (“CMM”) associated with the component and including memory for storing component information, a sensor for detecting a condition and generating data indicative thereof; a microprocessor for processing the sensor data and updating the component information with the processing results; and a communications interface between the CMM and the CMC. The system further includes a remaining useful life (“RUL”) module associated with the component that periodically updates an RUL, the RUL module periodically updating an RUL value for the component and communicating the updated RUL value to the CMM for storage in the memory. The CMC communicates with the CMM to update the component information included in the memory based on information input to the CMC by a user or changes in a condition of the vehicle.

Abstract: According to one example embodiment, an aircraft maintenance feedback system includes a technical publication system, a maintenance analysis engine, and an operator feedback system. The maintenance analysis engine is configured to receive, from each of a plurality of aircraft maintainers, feedback information associated with how each of the aircraft maintainers performed an aircraft maintenance action using the provided instructions and to determine, based on the feedback information received, whether a maintenance concern reflected by the feedback information received from each of the plurality of aircraft maintainers is potentially common to many of the plurality of aircraft maintainers or is limited to a specific one or more of the plurality of aircraft maintainers.

Abstract: Some examples of techniques to cost-effectively embed fiber optic cables in laminate structures and to terminate the fiber optic cables on the surface of the laminate for robust and easily-repairable connections can be implemented in rotorcraft composites. To position a cable in the rotorcraft composite, a length of a fiber optic cable is embedded between layers of a composite rotorcraft material. The length of the fiber optic cable is oriented in a substantially S-shape between the layers. An end of the length of the substantially S-shaped fiber optic cable is extended to an edge of the composite rotorcraft material. The end of the length of the substantially S-shaped fiber optic cable is terminated at the edge of the composite rotorcraft material in either a storage area or easily machinable embedded connection.
