Hyperion
Every aircraft part tells a story of flights, repairs, and performance. But today, that story is often fragmented across systems and paperwork, leading to unnecessary maintenance, high costs, and environmental waste. Hyperion changes that. It’s a groundbreaking initiative that uses smart data and digital technology to make aircraft maintenance more efficient, predictive, and sustainable.
At the heart of Hyperion lies the Digital Product Passport (DPP), a secure digital record that travels with every aircraft component throughout its life. The DPP stores essential information such as usage, health, repairs, and certifications, creating a complete digital thread of each part’s journey.
Combined with real-time sensor data and intelligent control systems, the DPP enables maintenance teams to:
Predict issues early before failures occur
Plan maintenance proactively, avoiding costly downtime
Optimize logistics so parts and tools arrive at the right place, at the right time
Extend component lifespans, reducing waste and the need for new materials
Behind the scenes, Hyperion operates within a trusted data space, a secure environment that allows airlines, manufacturers, and maintenance partners to share information safely and efficiently, without giving up data control.
The result?
Aviation that’s more reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable. Fewer unnecessary flights for spare parts. Less waste. Lower CO₂ emissions. And aircraft that spend more time in the air, where they belong. Hyperion is paving the way toward a new era of data-driven maintenance — one that connects people, systems, and insights to power the future of aviation.
Hyperion consists of 3 work packages:
-

Autonomous Sensor
Work package 1: Retrofitting autonomous sensor systems for monitoring the actual condition of critical aircraft components during operation.
-

Digital passport
Work Package 2: Data storage systems to document the actual condition of a component in a digital passport and these are linked to physical components by smart tags.
-

Operating systems
Work Package 3: Operating systems that can orchestrate the use of components, based on the information from the digital passport of the element.
