GE Aviation has received the formal Military Aircraft Release
(MAR) from the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence for all SEA KING
helicopters fitted with Generic Health & Usage Monitoring System
(GenHUMS).
The SEA KING GenHUMS successfully completed the Development Phase
Joint Flight Trials and Product Qualification Audits, which enabled
the MAR for GenHUMS on the SEA KING Mks 3, 3A, 4, 5 & 7 to be
completed. The MAR process has been concluded on each mark in turn,
and as a result the UK MoD has already fitted 20 Sea King aircraft.
This application pertains to an existing contract and covers the
development and installation of the GenHUMS for the fleet of 90
aircraft.
GE Aviation, through its Systems division (formerly Smiths
Aerospace), has recorded and analyzed in excess of two million HUMS
flight hours of data from more than 400 in-service military and
commercial helicopters. This accumulated knowledge and experience
enables customers to receive specialist support and advice from
diagnostic experts.
The SEA KING GenHUMS continuously monitors each aircraft's health,
performance and usage of safety-critical components thereby providing
advance warning of the potential for equipment failures; it also
records invaluable data for enhanced scheduled maintenance procedures.
GE provides a comprehensive support program to ensure that the
benefits of HUMS are maximized and delivered to the customer.
Individual sensors monitor: airframe, engines, transmission,
drive-train & rotor systems; "health" is determined by an airborne,
automated test procedure which detects, diagnoses and reports on
potential failures. The "usage" is recorded, which then provides data
and alerts for potential maintenance actions.
The HUMS Ground Station compares and contrasts individual aircraft
data with that from other aircraft and it is this correlation process,
which detects trends, anomalies and provides fleet summaries. The HUMS
also provides continuous Rotor Track and Balance (RTB) monitoring &
recording, negating the burden of using of carry aboard equipment and
the significant and unnecessary overhead of dedicated RTB check
flights. Within the GenHUMS capabilities, the Rotor Track & Balance
and Power Performance Index features are of significant importance to
the customer as is the ability to analyze data and isolate specific
faults.
GE Aviation, an operating unit of General Electric Company
(NYSE:GE), is a world-leading provider of commercial and military jet
engines and components as well as integrated digital, electric power,
and mechanical systems for aircraft. GE Aviation also has a global
service network to support these offerings. For more information,
