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.
