Applications
Helicopter and aircraft monitoring expertise in real-world operations
Helitune applies decades of hands-on flight test and operational experience to deliver monitoring solutions for helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Our systems support rotor track and balance, engine vibration monitoring and on-board health and usage monitoring, helping operators improve safety, reliability and aircraft availability across demanding environments.
Practical expertise, not theoretical solutions
Our team of experienced Flight Test Engineers has accumulated thousands of flight test hours across civil, military and specialist aviation operations. From standard aircraft configurations through to complex flight trials and bespoke programmes, Helitune works closely with operators and OEMs to ensure monitoring systems are correctly specified, installed and applied.
Rotor Track and Balance (RTB) involves measuring and correcting vibration generated by rotating components in helicopter rotors and fixed-wing aircraft propellers. Accurate RTB is critical to maintaining aircraft performance, reducing vibration-induced wear and ensuring safe operation.
Helitune’s RTB solutions support efficient data collection, precise analysis and repeatable correction across a wide range of aircraft types.
Engine vibration monitoring is a critical application of Helitune systems, supporting both helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft engines during testing, installation and operational use.
Our solutions help identify imbalance, misalignment and abnormal vibration behaviour, supporting engine health, compliance with manufacturer requirements and long-term operational reliability.
From individual sensors through to integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) systems, Helitune delivers on-board monitoring solutions designed to minimise installation impact while maximising data quality and operational insight.
Our on-board systems support continuous vibration monitoring, health trending and condition-based maintenance across a wide range of helicopter applications.
Helitune’s Flitepad™ was developed to operate reliably in extreme environments, from high temperatures and severe vibration to challenging operational conditions.
