Development of Electric Aircraft to Brighten Market Outlook

With a view to advance sustainability in the aviation industry, several aircraft innovators, especially startups, have been engineering and introducing electric airplanes, which has stoked the aircraft health monitoring system market growth. In September 2020, for instance, the Swedish startup, Heart Aerospace, unveiled its industry-leading battery technology and electric drivetrain as part of its mission to build a full-fledged electric airplane for regional flights. Similarly, in June 2019, Israel-based Eviation launched Alice, a breakthrough zero-emission, all-electric 9-seater aircraft, at the Paris Airshow. The innovations represented by these companies are stoking the demand for aircraft health monitoring systems as the maintenance requirements of battery-powered airplanes will be niche and these systems will be needed to ensure the smooth functioning of all the components.

Boeing Signs Multiple Aircraft Deals at the Paris Airshow

In June 2019, Boeing, through its fast-growing Boeing Global unit, signed a series of worth more than USD 100 million at the Paris Airshow. Among the various contracts inked by Boeing was an aircraft health monitoring system (AHMS) agreement that the company signed with Go2Sky, the Slovak charter airline operator. This, along with the other deals, is part of Boeing’s ongoing push to establish and expand its higher-end, digital services catering to the growing need of airline companies for advanced aircraft maintenance and analytics solutions.

Industry Development:

• December 2020: Safran Helicopter Engines inked a Support-by-Hour contract with China-based State Grid General Aviation Company (SGGAC). Under the contract, Safran will provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services to SGGAC, covering its H225 and H215 fleets.
