Mechanical Diagnostics

Goodrich Vehicle Health Management Systems identifies component or assembly problems well in advance of parts degrading to the point of a failure. This capability allows maintenance and fleet managers to appropriately perform maintenance based upon the relative health of components and their normal operating and scheduled maintenance plans.

Our algorithms have been validated through many years of seeded fault, accelerated life, normal test stand evaluations and aircraft flight tests. With helicopters that have Goodrich Vehicle Health systems now flying around the world, we have extensive demonstrated experience in helping maintainers keep their helicopters flying by reducing down time for maintenance.
