Case Study: AIRBUS cuts flight-test time and costs without compromising safety with MarkLogic on AWS

Airbus Runs MarkLogic on AWS to Reduce Costs and Time of Flight Testing Without Compromising Safety

AIRBUS, which produces about 60 aircraft a month, relies on extensive flight testing to ensure safety, reduce costs, and advance aircraft certification—a process that can take months when done flight‑by‑flight. The company needed faster, more efficient ways to discover and reuse test data so it could shorten certification cycles and avoid redundant tests without compromising safety.

AIRBUS deployed a MarkLogic Data Hub on AWS, using multi‑model ingestion, MarkLogic Semantics, and advanced encryption and element‑level security to link, protect, and make test data easily searchable. The result: data discovery time dropped from months to minutes, redundant tests were eliminated, new flight tests were optimized, and reusable data accelerated time‑to‑knowledge while maintaining a secure platform for sensitive operations.
