Boeing ReliablePlane
Detect early component degradation using Boeing-authored diagnostics and sensor data
The first solution to combine Boeing-authored AMM procedures with wireless sensors to measure component degradation directly during maintenance.
Converts vibration, current, and position data into true component health using proprietary system knowledge and validated performance thresholds.
Identifies early wear patterns that inspections and technician judgment cannot detect.
Standardized iPad workflow captures accurate, repeatable data across technicians and locations.
Only Boeing can combine AMM procedures, sensor data, and engineering models into a single, validated diagnostic system.
Guided workflows ensure AMM procedures are performed the same way every time, producing consistent, repeatable data regardless of technician experience.
Connects with Boeing Maintenance Performance Toolbox, Airplane Health Management, and Self-Service Analytics.
Diagnostic data can be exported into existing engineering and analysis tools for further evaluation.
What is aircraft component degradation detection?
Aircraft component degradation detection is the process of identifying early changes in component performance before they result in failure by using diagnostic measurements instead of visual inspection alone.
How do airlines currently detect early component degradation?
Most airlines rely on manual inspections, technician experience, and limited onboard data, which often miss gradual wear and provide inconsistent results.
How is ReliablePlane different from predictive maintenance?
ReliablePlane measures actual component condition during maintenance using AMM-based tests and sensors, providing earlier and more precise diagnostics than systems that rely only on flight data.
How does ReliablePlane improve troubleshooting?
ReliablePlane provides accurate sensor-based data and guided diagnostics, allowing technicians to identify root cause faster instead of relying on trial and error.
What components does ReliablePlane currently cover?
ReliablePlane currently supports the trailing edge flap and cabin air compressor (CAC) systems. It will expand to additional aircraft systems as Boeing validates new diagnostics, sensors, and engineering models.
