Recently, an AI-based predictive maintenance system has succeeded in preventing actual engine failures at Delta Airlines. The AI, which detected subtle vibration and pressure changes in the engine sensor before flight, sent a warning, and the maintenance team immediately inspected the parts and found small cracks. The component was likely to fail soon, but thanks to AI, it could be prevented before leading to a major accident.

Experts say, "In the past, technicians made decisions based on their experience and inspection schedule, but now AI analyzes real-time data to inform them of the possibility of failure in advance," and this is an example of taking aviation safety to the next level. AI systems, in particular, intensively monitor important parts such as engines, hydraulic devices, and landing gears, and play a role in discovering problems before accidents occur.
