Abstract
A system has a flight measurement sensor configured to provide a flight measurement of an aircraft, a regime engine configured to identify a plurality of flight regimes that the aircraft operated in during a period of time, a component engine configured to assign a first flight regime of the plurality of flight regimes to a first component of the aircraft for the period of time, and a health assessment system configured to determine an amount of damage inflicted on the component as a result of the first component spending time in the first flight regime assigned by the component engine.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a flight measurement sensor configured to provide a flight measurement of an aircraft;
- a regime engine configured to identify a plurality of flight regimes that the aircraft operated in during a period of time;
- a component engine configured to assign a first flight regime of the plurality of flight regimes to a first component of the aircraft for the period of time;
- and
- a health assessment system configured to determine an amount of damage inflicted on the component as a result of the first component spending time in the first flight regime assigned by the component engine.
A method of determining a health of an aircraft component, comprising:
- operating a flight measurement sensor to provide a flight measurement of an aircraft;
- operating a regime engine to identify a plurality of flight regimes that the aircraft operated in during a period of time;
- operating a component engine to assign a first flight regime of the plurality of flight regimes to a first component of the aircraft for the period of time;
- and
- operating a health assessment system to determine an amount of damage inflicted on the component as a result of the first component spending time in the first flight regime assigned by the component engine.
