Trend-based structural insight across the aircraft lifecycle

Aircraft operators and MRO teams need clearer visibility into structural condition across the fleet lifecycle — from first flight through years of service. Platinum Eagle Aerospace’s FLEX AI™ Platform is an AI-driven Structural Health Monitoring and Trending System. Readings are recorded in flight and uploaded on the ground.

FLEX applies trend-based review across four connected phases — Flight, Lifecycle, Evaluation, and eXamination — so maintenance and safety teams can see structural health status and plan the next inspection with earlier visibility.

The Four Pillars of FLEX

  • F — Flight — Readings are recorded in flight. Data uploads over LTE on the ground only.
  • L — Lifecycle — Continuous monitoring of structural integrity from manufacturing and assembly through years of service.
  • E — Evaluation — Advanced AI-driven algorithms perform automated evaluation of sensor data, identifying subtle anomalies.
  • X — eXamination — Points maintenance teams to specific areas for detailed examination, based on structural trends.

FLEX AI Dashboard

Our AI Dashboard consolidates recorded sensor readings from across the aircraft into a single, intuitive interface. Trend-based alerts flag changes for engineering review.

The FLEX AI™ sensor array measures strain, temperature, vibration, corrosion and humidity.

  • Intuitive visual interface with recorded aircraft data
  • Multi-sensor integration into one comprehensive hub
  • Trend-based alerts flag changes for engineering review.

Operational benefits

  • Recorded in flight, uploaded on the ground — Readings are recorded in flight. Data uploads over LTE on the ground only.
  • Earlier Visibility Between Inspections — Trend-based alerts flag structural changes for engineering review, so findings can be planned into scheduled maintenance.
  • Structural Trending Between Inspections — Continuous strain and temperature trending helps teams see change between scheduled inspections.
  • Full lifecycle coverage — Covers the aircraft lifecycle from manufacturing baseline through years of service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FLEX AI™ structural health monitoring?

FLEX AI™ records the structural load history of every monitored aircraft and uses AI to forecast which locations are heading toward their thresholds, so structural work lands in a planned check, not an AOG.

How does FLEX AI™ work?

The FLEX AI™ sensor array measures strain, temperature, vibration, corrosion and humidity. Strain gauge rosettes sit at critical fatigue locations, and wireless sensor nodes feed an onboard Data Gateway, which reads ARINC 429 receive-only for flight context. Data uploads over LTE on the ground only. Cloud AI then produces a damage index and remaining-life forecasts.

What does my team get?

A recorded load history and forecasts for each tail, flagging locations for the next planned check. Access is role-based, and records are time-stamped and exportable.

Does FLEX AI™ replace inspections or my maintenance program?

No. It complements required inspections and existing monitoring. Your approved maintenance program and intervals stay yours; any change goes through your reliability program and regulator.

What is the FAA STC status?

The FAA STC is in process and will be finished before the end of 2026. The Boeing 777 is at initial issuance, with the 737 and A320 families next.

What testing has been done?

FLEX AI™ is designed to RTCA DO-160G, and qualification testing is in progress as part of the STC. The AI model has been trained through 6,000 simulated flight cycles, with 25,000 next. The full data path is lab-validated on aerospace aluminum.

Can I see it?

Yes. Book a technical briefing. The dashboard demo uses simulated data for demonstration purposes, and every installation is scoped with your fleet's own data.
