Platform
The APiJET Actor™ technology within our Smart Aircraft System represents an innovative new approach to predictive analytics.
Actors are highly configurable software modules designed to execute custom airline business rules and logic to your aircraft in real-time. Actor technology powers software applications both on-board and off-board your aircraft, providing early indication of issues to your team in time to take action to prevent or minimize the impact.
The Smart Aircraft System encourages continuous improvement. As new insights are gained, additional Actors can be deployed, enabling aircraft and operations to get smarter and more efficient over time. Delivered as a Service (SaaS), it is designed for easy and rapid deployment while minimizing the upfront investment.
Leverage existing
airplane avionics,
IP communication links, and ground systems
Provide actionable insights and intelligence to the right stakeholders at the right time
Software-as-a-Service (SAAS)
Easy deployment and configuration: Leverages existing avionics systems, so deployment is quick and simple.
Remote Configuration: Perform system updates and modifications without touching your aircraft.
Scalable: Leverage our system with any OEM and operate across different fleet types.
Immediate ROI: Little to no capital expenditure results in an almost immediate Return on Investment and reduction of operational costs.

Data Security
Software-based and resides outside of aircraft avionics, so there is no safety impact on the aircraft’s operational capability.
Data can only be acquired through a read-only, one-way process initiated by the airborne system.
Inflight software and ground-based components are also continually tested for vulnerability by an independent third party.
Full data control
Airlines maintain complete ownership of and control over:
• All aircraft data
• Custom-developed Actors
• Datasharing and distribution decisions
On-board and Off-board
The onboard platform is open architecture software that is designed to run on a variety of different server hardware, ingest data in multiple formats, and access any available IP communication link
The offboard platform can be located in any virtualized or cloud environment and uses open, modular computing resources and integration patterns that are built to scale efficiently over time.
Powered by APiJET Actors
Actors are intelligent modules that sit on the aircraft and execute the unique business logic of that airline.Actors send data and alerts to the applications and analytics used by the airline.
They create a configurable feedback loop between ground analytics and the aircraft. Data becomes information in front of the people that need it using 3rd party or APiJET applications.
Frequently asked questions
Does the system require specific hardware?
No. The Smart Aircraft System runs on any certified server hardware that can accept third party applications, including IFE and IFC servers. No matter which hardware is used, the Smart Aircraft Solution provides a standardized output.This means airlines have maximum flexibility around hardware now and into the future. We can recommend hardware from our preferred 3rd Party Compatibility Program as necessary.
What connectivity is required?
None.
The Smart Aircraft System can use any available IP connection inflight or on the ground.
How does the system get data?
The Smart Aircraft System receives data in a read-only fashion from certified Aircraft Interface Devices and Modules.
The system can handle any type of data including ARINC 717, 429, 629, discrete data and others.
Is the system secure?
Yes, on a number of different levels.At the most basic level, the Smart Aircraft System is read-only.
We cannot transmit data into the aircraft systems. Please contact us with specific questions.
