System and method for fuel-cell and motor trend monitoring including recording signals from fuel-cell and motor system-condition sensors or sets of onboard sensors and periodically analyzing results to examine fuel-cell and motor system performance trends to predict the need for fuel-cell or motor system maintenance. Various analyses can be performed, separately or in parallel, including: comparing the current parameter values with recorded parameter values in previous instances of similar operating conditions; comparing parameter values to predetermined nominal ranges; and detecting sensed parameter values that exceed recommended fuel-cell or motor system operating conditions or that exhibit trends over time that if continued result in exceeding fuel-cell or motor system operating conditions or producing out-of-bound readings. Results of the analyses inform fuel-cell, motor, and aircraft system maintenance scheduling and provide alerts to users regarding recommended fuel-cell, motor, and aircraft system performance trends and/or operating condition exceedances, enhancing safety and improving maintenance efficiency.
