Idle to afterburn, every spool on record

Vibration spectra at 20 kHz, EGT, shaft speeds and borescope video — one record from the test cell to the wing.

The test cell, readable

High-rate vibration means nothing in isolation. Phloem keeps it next to temperatures, speeds and video, on one playhead.

C/01

Spectra with context

A vibration signature lines up with EGT, N1 and the borescope frame from the same instant.

C/02

Trend across builds

Compare runs across engine builds and hours. Watch a bearing signature develop over months, not fail in a day.

C/03

Evidence for certification

Structured test reports traceable to raw channels, assembled from the run itself.

02 / Lifecycle

One platform, first prototype to fleet

The record built in development carries into validation and operations — nothing starts from scratch.

S/01

Develop

  • Rig and core tests on the same timeline as full-engine runs — live at the bench from the first spool-up.
  • Compare builds channel by channel across the campaign.
  • Correlate performance shifts with hardware changes.
S/02

Validate

  • Run acceptance tests as codified, repeatable suites.
  • Flag out-of-family vibration the moment it appears.
  • Generate traceable evidence for review in minutes.
S/03

Operate

  • Ingest on-wing and overhaul-shop data into the same record.
  • Trend health per serial number across the fleet.
  • Catch wear early by watching signatures drift.
03 / One timeline

What a run looks like in Phloem

A cell run as it lands: vibration, EGT, shaft speed and borescope video, already on one playhead.

At the cellThe cell records to a local spool from the first spool-up — no cloud dependency mid-run. Every run syncs into the engine’s one record afterwards.

04 / Ecosystem

Native to the test cell

First-class ingest for the formats, protocols and buses this work already runs on — and the wider ecosystem behind them.

+ anything else with an SDK, a topic, or a recorded log.

05 / Outcomes

What teams get back

Full-rate
Forever queryable

Twenty-kilohertz vibration stays at twenty kilohertz — the microsecond events that matter don’t get averaged away.

Months
Of signature history

A developing bearing signature is visible across every run of every build, in one query.

06 / End of run

Engines that tell you before they fail

The signature is always in the data. Keep every run, at full rate, in one place — and hear it early.
