GE Aerospace tapped South Africa-based helicopter operator and maintenance provider Henley Air as the launch customer for its Rotor Analysis Diagnostic System Next Generation (RADS-NG).

The RADS-NG—which builds on GE's more than 30 years of reliability as the leading rotor track and balance solution—replaces the RADS-AT (Advanced Technology) and the AVA (Aviation Vibration Analyzer) as the manufacturer’s portable vibration diagnostics solution for vehicles where permanent installation is not practical, or to supplement existing systems.
