There is no doubt that the aeronautics world is currently immersed in a transition to more automatic vehicles. The development of growing levels of autonomy, designed to lighten the tasks of pilots and operators, is now a constant feature of…
Starts have always been a shaky business in aeronautics history, chalking up countless, attention-grabbing failures. Analysis and ingeniousness then stepped in to turn these initial failures into a host of technological successes and breakthroughs, making aircraft a safer means of…
Large-scale data collection and management is the basis of the industrial revolution we are living through today. Bringing together information and aircraft engines, for example, enables us to overhaul the design chain and the fine-tuning, operation and subsequent maintenance work.…
Although the presence of a pilot in the flight cabin is still considered to be one of the essential features of any commercial flight, it’s quite possible that in the not too distance future artificial intelligence in aeronautics will take…
Nearly 20 years after its beginnings, the EGNOS system has closed its development phase with official authorization of its use for civil-aviation landings in Europe, including, on 17 October in Santander airport, implementation of the first operational…
