  • Aircraft integrated support system (ISS)
    Patent number: 7983809
    Abstract: An aircraft integrated support system (ISS) downloads Integrated Vehicle Health Management System (IVHMS) data from an aircraft, processes the downloaded data to infer a status of aircraft systems and displays maintenance information via an Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM). The ISS integrates a maintenance and support environment to bind the information flow among the various aircraft and logistics networks for a fully integrated systemic approach which optimizes aircraft operation, maintenance, and support through data collection and analysis to maximize aircraft readiness.

  • COMPILATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF DATA FOR AIRCRAFT FLEET MANAGEMENT
    Publication number: 20090083050
    Abstract: A fleet management service receives HUMS data from a multitude of operators, compiles the HUMS data, and communicates fleet management data to each of the multiple of operators as compared to a fleet of that aircraft type. The fleet management service provides an executive level summary of each operator's aircraft, maintenance and supply chain performance, with analysis of this performance compared to the fleet of that aircraft type.
