Big Data
Big Data technology is increasing its influence on the aviation industry, informing how enterprises communicate with their customers and the consumer demands of the businesses with which they network. Analytics facilitates manufacturers to handle resources better, reduce market time, and allow airlines to comprehend customers better and predict their behavior.
Consequently, consumers have become accustomed to applications and websites that can find great travel dates, ticket prices, and seats with a simple click. Also, they expect nothing less than an ideal service from the businesses they interact with.
Advanced Materials
The utilization of carbon composites and fiber in aerospace has been on the rise as a lightweight and fuel-efficient substitute for metals like iron and steel. Most of the increase has been in wide-body jets, although material costs and production rates have reduced the cost-gain of composites in narrow-body aircraft.
But the transit of time, on the other side, has started to shift popular opinion. Firms see significant savings in replacement and maintenance costs for carbon fiber components, making expanding adoption across the complete fleet more appealing.
Drones
Industries from farming to logistics are finding benefits for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Farmers are monitoring their fields, warehouses are watching their stocks, and construction companies are mapping build sites and monitoring progress using drone technology. Also, the drone has replaced the helicopter and crane as a source of aerial shots in the film industry. The market for piloted aircraft will never decrease, but one can expect to see demand for UAVs growing as new initiatives discover new uses.
