Introduction Substantial improvements are needed to aircraft and engine health monitoring and management technologies, services and processes. Working towards a global maintenance system by integrating interoperable aircraft and ground segments ……… will ensure continuous aircraft availability by minimising operational disruptions and the associated costs, while increasing the level of safety.

Introduction Substantial improvements are needed to aircraft and engine health monitoring and management technologies, services and processes. Working towards a global maintenance system by integrating interoperable aircraft and ground segments ……… will ensure continuous aircraft availability by minimising operational disruptions and the associated costs, while increasing the level of safety. This aBIGsubject Data is the Key
Data is the source of information that can report the condition of: Aircraft avionics Data is the Key This can be achieved by interfacing to an existing aircraft avionics bus or by direct connection to avionic units
Data is the source of information that can report the condition of: Aircraft avionics Aircraft utility systems Data is the Key Again, by interfacing to an existing aircraft avionics bus or by direct connection to the utility
Data is the source of information that can report the condition of: Aircraft avionics Aircraft utility systems Aircraft sub-systems Data is the Key As before, by interfacing to an existing aircraft avionics bus or by direct connection to the sub-system
Data is the source of information that can report the condition of: Aircraft avionics Aircraft utility systems Aircraft sub-systems Aircraft structure Data is the Key This usually requires dedicated sensors to be fitted in carefully selected locations
Data is the source of information that can report the condition of: Aircraft avionics Aircraft utility systems Aircraft sub-systems Aircraft structure Engine health Data is the Key If not fitted at engine manufacture, a specialist Engine Monitoring Unit will be required to safely acquire relevant data
Data is the source of information that can report the condition of: Aircraft avionics Aircraft utility systems Aircraft sub-systems Aircraft structure Engine health Data must be acquired and stored on the aircraft Data is the Key Data acquisition recording on aircraft has a long pedigree, but a new generation of equipment is needed to achieve the integrity and direct compatibility with prognosis and maintenance planning systems

Case Study – RR300 EMU Rolls-Royce identified a new market for an engine derived from their successful Model 250 Turbines for lower Shaft Horse Power applications in particular small civil helicopters A business model was evolvedwhich at its core aimed for 2000 hours maintenance intervals Key attributes would include lower acquisition and operating costsand embedded engine monitoring
Case Study – RR300 EMU Rolls-Royce named the new engine RR300 and partnered with a launch customer – Robinson Helicopters The engine development programme, focussed in Indianapolis, was on an aggressive schedule An optimised Engine Monitoring Unitwould provide the quantity and quality of data to realise the business model All parts and sub-assemblies had to be high performance, very reliable and commercially competitive
Case Study – RR300 EMU Rolls-Royce selected SES to develop an Engine Monitoring Unit, based on existing and proven technology The RR300 EMU is derived from the COTS S3DR-C Solid State Data Recorder The EMU interfaces to sensors fitted on the engine, to be conditioned and processed to extract key parameters Data is time-stamped and recorded including variable sample rate signals and certain calculated exceedances
Case Study – RR300 EMU Rolls-Royce required the Engine Monitoring Unit to record for 2000 hours yet have quick access to visualised data The RR300 EMU is able to rapidly down-load data in a pre-formatted form for visualisation and analysis of recorded information A dedicated software tool based on the COTS REVEAL product provides data management and processing facilities Access to engine data gives accurate information about the engine condition actual use profile and historical trends
