Helitune’s engineering heritage dates back to the early 1980s, including the development of the world’s first microprocessor-based rotor track and balance system.
Engineering expertise for helicopter health monitoring and vibration analysis
Helitune’s engineering heritage dates back to the early 1980s, including the development of the world’s first microprocessor-based rotor track and balance (RTB) system. This pioneering work laid the foundations for Helitune’s long-standing leadership in helicopter vibration monitoring and health monitoring systems.
Today, Helitune is recognised for designing and developing advanced health monitoring solutions for rotorcraft, combining expertise across sensor development, software engineering, data science and systems integration. Our engineering teams focus on solving real-world operational challenges through customer-driven research and development, innovative technology, and deep application knowledge.
A multidisciplinary global engineering team
Helitune’s engineering capability is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of approximately 40 engineers operating across the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States. The team supports core product development activities spanning hardware, software and systems design, working closely to deliver fully integrated monitoring solutions.
Key areas of technical expertise include digital signal processing, data analysis, and airborne systems integration, ensuring Helitune products perform reliably in demanding helicopter operating environments.
All products are developed in accordance with AS9100 quality assurance requirements and conform to the appropriate DO-178 (software) and DO-254 (hardware) design assurance levels.
Advancing data intelligence in health monitoring
Recognising the growing importance of data intelligence in aviation, Helitune established its Data Science Research Group in 2005. This capability plays a central role in enhancing the intelligence of modern health monitoring systems, enabling earlier detection of issues and more informed maintenance decisions.
A key contributor to the success of this work is Helitune’s long-standing collaboration with the University of Bristol, which began in 2006 through an award-winning Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). This partnership has supported the application of advanced analytics and research insight into operational helicopter monitoring systems.
Shaping the future of intelligent monitoring systems
Helitune’s engineers continue to push health monitoring into a new era, developing systems that are increasingly capable of interpreting data, identifying patterns and supporting the right action at the right time and in the right area. This engineering-led approach underpins Helitune’s commitment to delivering smarter, more responsive monitoring solutions for helicopter operators worldwide.
