Flying an airplane is no small feat.
Commercial pilots must make hundreds of decisions
to get passengers to their destinations safely.
But what if we could give pilots the tools to make better decisions?
To understand how their actions effect critical areas like safety,
fuel efficiency, and sustainability?
GE Digital created the FlightPulse app to meet this challenge,
connecting millions of data points from onboard sensors
to give pilots true insight.
Built on Microsoft Azure and using Blazor,
a framework for developing Web UI with C# and .NET,
FlightPulse provides crucial flight data
to the people who need it most.
GE developers built the back end APIs for FlightPulse with ASP.NET Core.
And they chose Blazor,
A feature of ASP.NET Core for the UI.
Because Blazor uses C# for both client and server code,
developers could easily share code and logic between the front and backend.
Backed by Blazor and other
Microsoft technology, GE was able to work faster and more efficiently,
bringing FlightPulse to life in months instead of years.
Now, pilots can review their post flight data and make important adjustments.
In fact, pilots have increased their performance
of fuel efficiency techniques by up to 15%,
reducing carbon emissions. Putting useful data into pilots’ hands.
benefits everyone together.
GE Digital and Microsoft are making the skies a better place to be.
