Jack Human Simulation Software Helps Pratt & Whitney by Speeding Aircraft Engine Development

With routine maintenance accounting for a big part of aviation costs, Pratt & Whitney designs engines with the goal of minimizing maintenance downtime. The company wanted to control costs and speed delivery of new military and commercial aircraft engines and provide customers with engines that require fewer maintenance hours. The company adopted solution that include design for maintainability considerations upfront which simulate human maintenance in software to optimize the design to communicate maintainability issues via 3D visualizations and Validate maintainability with virtual reality immersion.
