Abstract :
It is proposed to achieve integrated diagnostic systems for advanced rotorcraft by combining the concepts of design-for-testability (DFT), expert systems, advanced maintenance architectures, portable maintenance aids, and electronic publications. Mechanical and avionic systems of the rotorcraft would both be covered by the diagnostic system. The problem is broken down into mechanical diagnostics, in-flight diagnostics, and ground-based diagnostics
