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…
Business aviation’s supply chain has been creaking noticeably since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but is the tension now loosening up? Views in Geneva at the annual trade show EBACE differed. Jetnet’s iQ survey [PDF] released just in time for EBACE highlights that airframers are “dependent as always on…
As aviation continues to experience supply chain problems, the growing need to focus on sustainability might be eclipsed — but its importance for the future of commercial air travel is by no means diminished. We sat down with experts across the industry to scan the horizon for issues around sustainability and…
Aviation safety is a wide-ranging field, and in several key parts of this industry segment the ongoing supply chain crunch is biting deep. We dive deep into two high-profile segments: cybersecurity and airline seats, both of which have high requirements and are only too visible if things go wrong. On…
The supply chain for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) is at the centre of a perfect storm of external and internal pressures, including the wider MRO capacity crunch, aviation’s staffing constraints, airliner and enginemaker production issues, and the effects of a parts scandal. How are MRO operators looking to resolve…
Aircraft arriving at the gate need to be checked and cleared before their next flight. New technologies, including AI, are helping to improve the process, as Bernie Baldwin reports. Even before the advent of low-fare airlines and their tight schedules, aircraft turnarounds were a vital element of airline operations. Everything…
