Abstract: One embodiment is a system (300) including a component (301A, 301B) for installation on a vehicle (302) comprising a central maintenance computer ("CMC") (315); a configuration/maintenance module ("CMM") (303A, 303B) associated with the component (301A, 301B) and including memory (305) for storing component information, a sensor (307) for detecting a condition and generating data indicative thereof; a microprocessor (306) for processing the sensor data and updating the component information with the processing results; and a communications interface between the CMM (303A, 303B) and the CMC (315). The system (300) further includes a remaining useful life ("RUL") module (310) associated with the component (301A, 301B) that periodically updates an RUL, the RUL module (310) periodically updating an RUL value for the component (301A, 301B) and communicating the updated RUL value to the CMM (303A, 303B) for storage in the memory (305). The CMC (315) communicates with the CMM (303A, 303B) to update the component information included in the memory (305) based on information input to the CMC (315) by a user or changes in a condition of the vehicle (302).

Abstract: According to one example embodiment, an aircraft maintenance feedback system includes a technical publication system (220), a maintenance analysis engine (210), and an operator feedback system (230). The maintenance analysis engine (210) is configured to receive, from each of a plurality of aircraft maintainers (202-206), feedback information (202a-206a) associated with how each of the aircraft maintainers (202-206) performed an aircraft maintenance action using the provided instructions and to determine, based on the feedback information (202a-206a) received, whether a maintenance concern reflected by the feedback information (202a-206a) received from each of the plurality of aircraft maintainers (202-206) is potentially common to many of the plurality of aircraft maintainers (202-206) or is limited to a specific one or more of the plurality of aircraft maintainers (202a-206a).

Abstract: Some examples of techniques to cost-effectively embed fiber optic cables (306) in laminate structures and to terminate the fiber optic cables (306) on the surface of the laminate for robust and easily-repairable connections can be implemented in rotorcraft composites (302). To position a cable (306) in the rotorcraft composite (302), a length of a fiber optic cable (306) is embedded between layers of a composite rotorcraft material (300). The length of the fiber optic cable (306) is oriented in a substantially S-shape between the layers. An end of the length of the substantially S-shaped fiber optic cable (306) is extended to an edge of the composite rotorcraft material (300). The end of the length of the substantially S-shaped fiber optic cable (306) is terminated at the edge of the composite rotorcraft material (300) in either a storage area or easily machinable embedded connection.
