GE Aviation Digital Solutions, in partnership with GE’s Marine Solutions, recently secured an Asset Performance Management (APM) proof of concept order from Military Sealift Command (MSC). MSC is the leading provider of ocean transportation for the Navy and the Department of Defense, operating approximately 120 ships daily around the globe.

General Electric’s new 1,300 SHP-rated Advanced Turboprop (ATP) is the first entry in GE’s new family of turboprop engines aimed at Business and General Aviation aircraft in the 1,000-1,600 SHP range. The ATP engine will power the new Cessna Denali aircraft built by Textron Aviation.

GE is using data and real-time, digital insights to drive operational efficiency in its shops to ensure on-time customer delivery.

At GE Aviation, we monitor more than 30,000 commercial engines daily. How much data do we collect? Our engines produce data snapshots at various points in flight, such as take-off, climb and cruise. The snapshots include up to 1,000 different measurement parameters, and each engine can pump out between 50 to 200 megabytes of data per flight depending on the flight time. This gives us a massive amount of data.
