Abstract
A method monitoring an aircraft engine, including: collecting time history measurements on a first set of measurements on endogenic variables and a second set of measurements on exogenic variables; standardizing measurements related to the endogenic variables considering the exogenic variables to form an entry point corresponding to a condition of a current engine in a multi-dimensional space, for each acquisition; projecting each multi-dimensional space entry point onto an image point on a previously constructed map, forming a sequence of image points on the map reflecting a distribution of the multi-dimensional space entry points, the image points forming a current trajectory representing a change to conditions of the current engine; comparing an end of the current trajectory with previously recorded portions of aircraft engine trajectories kept in a database; and analyzing statistical variations of the trajectories to anticipate maintenance operations on the current engine.
