Case Study: Airbus improves flight testing efficiency with Progress MarkLogic

Airbus cuts flight test analysis from days to seconds with Progress Software

Airbus faced a challenge in its flight testing program, where critical data was trapped in multiple silos. Manually searching through diverse data types like configuration criteria, flight data, and crew reports to plan new tests was slow and inefficient, preventing optimal use of historical test information. To address this, Airbus turned to Progress Software and its MarkLogic Data Hub Platform.

Progress Software provided a solution by enabling Airbus to integrate all its disparate flight test data into a single platform. This allowed engineers to map data points to specific aircraft parts and perform precise, complex searches across the entire data set. The results were significant: query times dropped to seconds, new data requirements could be addressed in hours instead of days, and Airbus significantly reduced test preparation time and avoided redundant tests, lowering costs without compromising safety.
