CFM enhances health monitoring for LEAP engine

CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, is enhancing its engine health monitoring capabilities for LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines. With the LEAP engine fleet nearing 50 million flight hours and more operators coming on board, the introduction of machine learning to the monitoring system marks a significant advancement in predictive maintenance. As CFM International continues to innovate and collaborate with its partners, the future of aviation maintenance and operations looks promising, with advancements in predictive analytics driving greater efficiency and safety across the industry.

The updated system utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyze data from various engine sensors during different phases of flight, such as takeoff, climb, and cruise. By employing probabilistic diagnostic and prognostic tools, the system can generate more accurate operational models and provide targeted alerts based on known engine operating patterns. This leads to earlier detection of potential issues, allowing operators to take proactive maintenance measures.
