Research Progress in Predictive Maintenance Technology of Civil Aircraft
The strategy of civil aircraft maintenance is constantly advancing with the progess of aviation technology,from time-based overhaul to reliability centered scheduled maintenance,as well as advanced condition based and predictive maintenance concepts.The development of modern civil aircraft testability,especially the development and application of system/structural health monitoring technology,has enriched the existing concept and methods of continuous airworthiness.While ensuring that the aircraft meets the requirements of continuous airworthiness,the aircraft has shifted from empirical time-based scheduled maintenance to more efficient maintenance based on the actual health status of the system/structure.This paper summarizes the latest research progress of predictive maintenance technology for civil aircraft,and introduces predictive maintenance mode based on traditional scheduled maintenance,including structural/system predictive maintenance task analysis methods,maintenance plan optimization,key technologies of predictive maintenance,and their applications in the field of civil aircraft.
