Collins Aerospace

Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, offers predictive maintenance analytics to airlines that analyze real-time aircraft systems data to forecast component failures and schedule maintenance before problems occur. The Ascentia analytics product is deployed on nearly 40% of Boeing 787s in operation globally, including a confirmed deal with Qatar Airways announced in November 2025.

Collins Aerospace's Ascentia system collects live sensor data from aircraft subsystems—including hydraulics, air management, pneumatic, anti-ice, electric power, landing, and navigation systems—and analyzes it against historical fleet records and statistical models to generate predictive health insights. The output is maintenance scheduling recommendations that help airlines reduce unplanned downtime and lower operating costs. In April 2025, Collins joined Airbus's Digital Alliance for Aviation (Skywise platform) to expand this capability to a broader airline customer base. The Ascentia system currently supports nearly 40% of 787s in operation.
