In-flight engine condition monitoring
-
German airliner Condor has selected Data Systems & Solutions' real-time engine condition monitoring (ECM) system for its fleet of 13 Boeing 757-300 aircraft powered by Rolls-Royce RB211-535 engines. Data Systems & Solutions is a joint venture formed by Rolls-Royce and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC).
The ECM system transmits engine data during flight to the Data Systems & Solutions engine health center in Derby, UK, for processing. This information is sent back to Condor, providing the airliner with early warning of any maintenance requirements. The data are also sent to Rolls-Royce, enabling it to better anticipate Condor's support needs.
