Safran Helicopter Engines has launched its EngineLife Connect label to signify which airborne connectivity solutions are best compatible with its range of product and services. The manufacturer said the connectivity of present and future helicopters is “a mandatory link in the data value chain,” and views the collection of engine data as the raw material for digital services that will provide the opportunity for new operational performance improvements.

Several providers have already been awarded with the designation which signifies the data scope, downloading capabilities, and worldwide certification coverage, related to Safran-powered helicopter fleets.
