KLM and NLR have developed a vision of the future use of HoloLens by maintenance personnel. Since November 2018 this is turne ... d into an official joint venture Nuveon. Learning alongside fellow trainees and your instructor as you walk around a three-dimensional model of an aircraft, zoom in on components, examine system behavior and analyze faults. All of this is possible with a new type of training that uses augmented reality (AR). It was developed and tested by NLR in association with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. The advantages of such a 3D virtual aircraft are numerous. It is usable both for theoretical and for practical training and other purposes. In principle, Nuveon able to model all complex mechanical systems in the aircraft, including systems that normally cannot be demonstrated in an aircraft on the ground. It is also possible to simulate normal and abnormal aircraft behavior. What’s more, a virtual aircraft is available any place, any time, and nothing can wear out. Nuveon has the vision to implement the HoloLens throughout the MRO chain and use it in the everyday performance of maintenance. At the same time, information could be given during inspections about previous repairs of the aircraft. If you integrate AR in this way, it will become common practice and you can increase the insight of mechanics, supervise them remotely and make recordings that are usable as progress training. But the real challenge is to organize things differently and to make it more interactive, because that is the only way to leverage the full added value of HoloLens. It’s not enough simply to use a new technology and leave everything else as it was. read more
