Swati Ketkar @ MRO Business Today interviews Chris Thomson of Curtiss-Wright about how predictive maintenance is changing the world of avionics.

Paul Davis looks at how it’s now possible to design digital data recorders that can absorb upwards of 6 GB per second of streaming data, 400 percent more bandwidth then the fastest SFPDP recorder could handle.

The Curtiss-Wright Fortress can function as a traditional FDR, cockpit voice recorder, datalink recorder or airborne image recorder, or a combination of the four. It also allows operators to use the data captured for predictive maintenance.

Woodrow Bellamy at Avionics Today discusses recommendations on avionics upgrades & improved capabilities for aircraft flying oceanic routes.
