Software containerisation ab initio

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…

Additive manufacturing ab initio

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…

Scope 4 emissions ab initio

Aviation is becoming increasingly familiar with Scopes 1, 2 and 3 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, which can be summarised as direct, indirect and supply/value chain emissions. But Scope 4 emissions, often called avoided emissions or positive impacts, are also important to understand — though certainly controversial in concept and in…

Hydrogen fuel cells ab initio

Hydrogen power seems increasingly likely to be a key part of the puzzle to power the aircraft of the future, with the use of fuel cells looking to be a strong contender in the mix. To learn more, we sat down with Matthieu Pettes-Duler, deputy head of powertrain and flight…

Cybersecurity and information security ab initio

With increasing digitalisation and the growth of connected systems — up to and including the Industry 4.0 technology wave — cybersecurity and information security are a key element of ensuring aviation safety. With high-profile data breaches increasingly common, what does the aviation industry need to know about these key elements of…

VR, AR, MR and the virtual factory ab initio

Virtual reality (VR), assisted reality (AR), augmented reality (also AR, somewhat confusingly), mixed reality (MR) — even virtual factories? There’s a lot of acronyms and a lot of hype about these technologies within aviation, especially as the industry continues to focus on digitalisation and new tech. We sat down with experts…

APIs in aviation ab initio

APIs, or application programming interfaces, are at their most basic level a set of standards and protocols enabling two or more computer systems to communicate and share information. But how are they used in the aviation context? We sat down with Dr. Alexander Motzek, Principal Data Scientist at zeroG, a…

Fixed-base operators (FBOs) ab initio 

There are thousands of FBOs — fixed base operators — worldwide. But how do these ground operators work within business aviation? We sat down with Niamh McNamara from Dubai-based flight support solutions specialists UAS for an introduction to the topic in the latest of our ab initio guides! At its most…

ab initio: The Internet of Things (IoT)

What is the Internet of Things — the IoT — and how is it already bringing benefits to airlines and the aviation industry? We round it all up in the latest of our ab initio primer guides! Anil Ravi — Safran’s senior director for IoT, cloud/security and research & technology —…
