1. A method of projecting aircraft maintenance costs, the method comprising:

  • providing collected data on a storage medium accessible by a computer system, said collected data being associated with a plurality of aircraft mechanical systems;

    operating a computer system programmed to perform the steps of;

    generating a plurality of reliability models based on said collected data associated with a plurality of aircraft mechanical systems;

    performing a plurality of simulations, each simulation related to operating one of the plurality of aircraft mechanical systems over a period of time and each simulation based on one of the plurality of reliability models, at least one simulation of said plurality of simulations being a Monte Carlo simulation generating an estimated time for failure of one of said aircraft mechanical systems;

    projecting a maintenance cost of each of the plurality of aircraft mechanical systems over the period of time based on each simulation; and

    determining a total maintenance cost of the plurality of aircraft mechanical systems over the period of time based on the maintenance cost of each of the plurality of aircraft mechanical systems over the period of time.
