Electronic passports, digital wallets, app-based travel documents… what is digital identity, how is it different — and what does it mean for aviation? To learn more, we quizzed the experts at airline trade group IATA, the International Air Transport Association via spokesperson Katherine Kaczynska. The digital identity agenda spans a variety…
The gap between the pace of technology advancement outside the aircraft and within its passenger cabin — and especially in the digital technology deployed within seats — has never been so large. We sat down for an extensive discussion with Cathay Pacific’s general manager for customer experience and design Vivian…
While the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend is making waves in many corporate digital technology environments, managed crew devices still lead the market in aviation. We sat down with Job Heimerikx, chief executive officer of AirFi, a pathfinder company in this space since it was first developed in the early 2010s. While…
Business aviation’s connectivity options are expanding substantially, with the low-latency advantages of low earth orbit constellations and a new generation of aircraft antennas for geostationary earth orbit satellites and a range of industry Internet service provider consolidations. After sitting down with connectivity experts at the recent Aircraft Interiors Expo, we…
Aviation’s digital estate is a complicated landscape, and as new technologies including AI are introduced to the mix it will get only more complicated. To find the lay of the land on the digital estate, and to scan the horizon to find out what’s coming next, we sat down with…
With the advent of the connected aircraft, manufacturers and suppliers can now gain unprecedented access to data, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of subsystem performance that was previously unattainable. But how does this flying Internet of Things (IoT) really communicate, and on what standards? At the Aircraft Interiors Expo in…
Containerisation, a kind of virtualised computing environment, is a key part of delivering many modern applications within the digital sphere, including within aviation. But what is containerisation, and what are key options like Kubernetes and Docker? We look at the basics of these technologies in the latest of our ab…
“Algae-derived sustainable aviation fuels are functionally, chemically, and performance-wise fully compatible with existing aviation fuels, and are derived from oils extracted from algae,” Laurens tells us. “These oils can look chemically indistinguishable from biofuels derived from — for example — soybean oil, but the advantage of algae as a source…
Additive manufacturing is one of the key elements of the Industry 4.0 technology and process toolbox, and as it evolves beyond custom 3D printing to become a major part of the aviation industrial process, we sat down with industry experts at Airbus and Honeywell for the latest of our ab…
A platform where the aviation community comes together to exchange information and ideas, to improve outcomes for the whole industry.
