Scenarios Analysis and Development Strategy for Aircraft Integrated Health Management (AIHM)

Aircraft Integrated Health Management (AIHM) is one of typical engineering application of the Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) technology. It is well accepted that business success is the only and ultimate aim of commercial aircraft and right requirements of the stakeholders are key factors, so it is necessary to generate the right targets and scenarios for AIHM in order to clarify the right stakeholders and establish right requirements and establish unambiguous AIHM functions for the commercial aircraft. In this paper, the author provides the scenarios analysis of AIHM for commercial aircraft on the integrator’s/OEM’s point of view gives a "Centralized-Distributed-Integration-Verification & Optimization" development process according to the System Engineering process through the AIHM life cycles.
