StandardAero (SARO) said Tuesday that it received an award from the US Air Force to apply its Maintenance Insight predictive maintenance tools to the F100-220 engine program, which powers more than 175 F-15 aircraft.

The award expands StandardAero's Maintenance Insight support to a fifth engine type in the USAF fleet, it said.

The tools use artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital twin technologies to analyze engine failure modes and provide predictive insights for maintenance planning, readiness and reliability, it added.
