How Digital Technology is Changing Rotorcraft Maintenance

Posted by Admin

The Digital Revolution is impacting rotorcraft maintenance. In addition to their wrenches and screwdrivers, rotorcraft maintainers are now using digital tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) to get the job done. “We’re embracing disruptive innovation in our processes, technology and tools to drive speed, agility and data-driven insights for our customers,” said Steve Schmidt, Sikorsky’s VP of Engineering & Technology.

What is AI’s Future in Rotorcraft? AI is making an impact — but how far can it go?

Posted by Admin

Once upon a time, AI (artificial intelligence) was just a buzzword for all that was new, cool, and impossible in technology — but no longer. “AI is having an impact on the drone and helicopter industries today,” said Clint Church, chief engineer with Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing subsidiary that specializes in special-purpose uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). “AI is enabling remote operation of uncrewed aircraft, such as small UAS and military air vehicles,” he told Rotor Pro. “It is also enabling more efficient data collection for use cases such as infrastructure inspection and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. AI is also a significant area of investment in research and development. These investments are driving growth across our industry” “AI is having an impact on the helicopter industry — not just our products, but many of our company processes,” echoed Mattia Cavanna, Leonardo Helicopters’s VP for technology and innovation. “So the short answer is: AI is not just a buzzword; it’s making a real difference.” The new question is, how much difference can AI actually make?
