JUST OFF ASSEMBLY LINE
ACTIVE SERVICE
DELAYED RETIREMENT
Real-time data during entry-into-service
improves early troubleshooting
Real-time data on traffic and weather
enables optimize fuel burn and flight time
Airlines can retrofit aircraft with
sensors and hardware
Manufacturers collect data to improve
the design of the next generation of
aircraft
Predictive maintenance is powered by
machine learning
Aircraft can optimize performance with real-time updates
Sensors provide airline with data on the
in-flight passenger experience
Manufacturers get real-time
performance data from aircraft
instead of reports from airlines
Software upgrades, based on
performance data rather than
maintenance, address problems
New sensors measure everything from
fuel burn to vibration modes and
resistance to movement
Engines, environmental systems, and
flight controls adapt to optimize
performance in real time
Data from satellites and weather sensors
inform aircraft
Aircraft automatically calculate the best
routes and altitudes
Hundreds of real-time data points inform
maintenance schedule
Early warning signs provide alerts on
potential maintenance issues
Aircraft notifies the airline about which
parts it needs before landing
Data comes from seat and bin sensors and
in-flight entertainment
Environmental sensors adjust aircraft
temperature and humidity
New technology extends aircraft life
by pinpointing maintenance and
reliability issues
Airlines get support from targeted
upgrades to address plane
aerodynamics and corrosion
Full lifecycle data shows how an aircraft
will perform as it ages, helping to
extend the life
Passenger use and experience data
helps refine product development
