INTELLIGENT PLANES ARE HERE. DON’T WAIT TO GET ON BOARD.

We’re putting the intelligent technologies of tomorrow in the air today. For years, the industry has dreamed of a future shaped by more intelligent flight. But at UTC Aerospace Systems, we’re already making it a reality. From sensors to hardware platforms to software applications, we’re creating systems that harness the power of big data and open up endless new possibilities in flight. We’re talking about capabilities like real-time access to flight data, advanced health management prognostics and wireless connectivity, all for more on-time flights, fuel efficiency and healthy fleets.
