Health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS) have proven their worth with helicopter operators, providing a way to flag up any technical problems that could undermine safety. The information they generate about the performance of the aircraft and its various systems also provide predictive trend analysis, which allows maintenance to be conducted in a more cost-effective way. For instance, HUMS can show the rate at which components are likely to need replacing so that support crews can plan on doing this work whenever the aircraft is next booked for maintenance, rather waiting for them to fail.
Vermont-based GPMS says its low-cost, Cloud-based Foresight MX HUMS could add a lot of value for new generation electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The company recently provided the system for evaluation of Beta Technologies’ new Alia prototype.
