Flight Technologies Are Driving Our Modern Transportation World

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Jan. 30, 2023 - PRLog -- What happens when you ground all the planes in the country?

As we found out recently, when the FAA outage took down the Notice to Air Mission (NOTAM) system and led to the cancelation of 1,300 flights in addition to nearly 10,000 flight delays, our society relies heavily upon technology that works.

The FAA outage (which was ultimately blamed, with some skepticism from experts outside the US aviation governing system, on a corrupted database file) brought our country and some part of the world to a halt. As was exposed by this glitch, whatever the cause, society is highly dependent upon planes and their associated systems of communication, navigation, maintenance, and other elements to work consistently and without interruption.

10 Technologies Used in the Flight Industry
The recent issues (besides the FAA outage, there have been other instances of concern, including significant flight cancellations by airlines due to technology malfunctions) with aviation technology have made people wonder about the technologies that contribute to the ecosystem of our modern system for flying from place to place.

Here are those core technologies.

Engines: The modern engine developed to create jet propulsion capable of moving large
planes filled heavy loads.
Aerodynamics: The understanding and adaptation to principles of air flow
Material science: The construction of airplanes out of modern materials engineered for performance and durability
Navigation systems: Technology that allows pilots and their support system to fly to
Communications systems: Hi-tech radios and satellite communication devices used to interact with air traffic control and other airplanes
Computer technology: Software and hardware devices used to operate many aspects of air travel
Flight control systems: Technology that directs and stabilizes airplanes during flight
Environmental control systems: Regulating temperature, pressure, air quality, and other aspects of comfort and safety in the cabin
Maintenance and diagnostics tools: Systems and procedures used to ensure that planes will work when they should and that they are not unsafe
