Rolls-Royce and Boeing launched a shared data service, the first of its kind in the aerospace industry. It will allow both companies to offer faster, better-informed advice to airlines, in order to maximise aircraft availability. For the first time, data from an aircraft and the engines that power it will be combined on a single system providing customers with an efficient, integrated data source, improving an airline's ability to manage its product health monitoring.
By integrating data from Rolls-Royce engines and Boeing airplanes, both manufacturers will offer comprehensive information and improved response time to customers. The service, available to airlines with both Rolls-Royce Engine Health Monitoring (EHM) and Boeing Airplane Health Management (AHM) data, will initially be available for the Trent 1000/Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Trent 800/Boeing 777 combinations. By year end it will also cover RB211-524/Boeing 747 and RB211-535/Boeing 757 combinations.
