Bombardier (BBD-B.TO) and Rolls-Royce have introduced an enhanced aircraft health monitoring program for Bombardier Global 5500 and Global 6500 aircraft.
The upgraded system integrates Bombardier's Smart Link Plus box that monitors aircraft health with Rolls-Royce's new Pearl 15 engine vibration and health monitoring unit, Bombardier said Wednesday.
The offering is a first in business aviation, according to Bombardier.
"The integration of Smart Link Plus with Rolls-Royce's engine vibration and health monitoring unit will allow our Global 5500 and 6500 customers to seamlessly benefit from enhanced end-to-end data services that help optimize aircraft performance and reliability while continuing to keep maintenance costs in check," said Anthony Cox, vice president of customer support at Bombardier.
