Pratt & Whitney launched an artificial intelligence (AI)-based aircraft engine analysis tool for geared turbofan (GTF) and V2500 powerplants on Tuesday at the 2023 Paris Airshow. Dubbed Percept, the new product merges computer vision with a video intelligence operating system developed by Awiros.

Percept’s cloud-based interface allows users to capture images and videos of aircraft engines on their mobile devices and receive real-time parts availability status. “Instead of an inspector having to examine an engine and check part-by-part, Percept automates this inspection and reduces time taken by nearly 90 percent,” the company said.
