Aircraft and Computer Innovation

By Aaron Testado

Human being are in the peak of its technology now airplane manufacturer like Airbus unveiled its new product Airbus 380 last 2 years ago and now it the only airplane that suit in the Cruiser class Airplane. Mean while Boeing are developing new 7E7 dream liner making it their first class of planes with advance systems, systematic approach, a cabin with cleanest air to breathe and fully digital computer controls.

Computers on the other hand is advancing rapidly 10 years ago computer manufacturer are looking for speeds and reliability now that dream came true. IC’s and computer chips are getting smaller and cheaper. Software is being developed faster by tapping it on the web. I can say today with our current technology you can just buy and OS for your PC and an internet connection and you’re on the go. New lines of computer are being produce on form of hybrid mobile phones and computers in the invention of the 3G technology people can now surf, email, use desktop publishing and other application on the internet anytime anywhere.

With the advancement of computers and electronics Airplanes are much easier to use like you’re driving an automobile on the road with the innovation of avionics systems by tapping it on advance software and hardware design. Airplanes can now land and take off without pilot and the only human intervention is by controlling in case of emergency. The use of the GPS has astonishing results on pilot side because now pilot can see where they are on the map without computing any degrees or plotting in his map. Instrumentation becomes more accurate and always updated. Aircraft avionics and systems problem can  now be detected immediately by laptops in the cockpit. Now Aircraft manufacturer is busy putting a cellular network on board, these are only a bit of the advancement today because I also research that Aircraft manufacturer are in the feud of making their passenger comfortable by making a digital cabin roof  with HD LCD displaying what is on outside. Want more? On the development of new cushions and beds fir for airplanes, airlines is not just an airlines business anymore they are now engaging in the hotel class services. With these kinds of innovations we can expect a unique fully digital, fully automated, safe and comfortable aircraft in the near future.

Imagine in the future you are in New York and you are going to the Airport traveling abroad. Now via SMS/Bluetooth you arrange a taxi cabs for you, on the way you’re tracking your ticket and travel plan by handheld cell phone computers, Google earth the location of your destination and sending your friends and relatives messages by email. Then soon after you arrive at the airport you paid taxi cab via cell phone/ pin code of your transplant chips instead of cash. Inside the airport, security and immigration officers already check your identity. By the time you enter at the airport main entrance, they scan your transplant chip inside your body. No passport is needed so you don’t have to wait long, lining up to the immigration officer. You are now on the way to departure area, while you are walking your cell phone receives a Bluetooth data says there your flight time, name of your airline and in what departure area you have to wait. While you are waiting you are enjoying cool music also from your mobile computer with 10 terabytes of space 500GB of memory ram and a super high speed internet connection transmitting it via Bluetooth radio frequency for your headphone. Wow that’s cool… Now waiting time is finished you receive another Bluetooth data saying you can now aboard to the aircraft it also includes a map replica of the aircraft and your specific room in the aircraft. Then soon after you put your bag under your computer secured bed cabinet, you take a nap leaving the 21” HD  super thin LCD wall mount PC, open in front of you also capable of surfing the net, receiving your plane GPS position, broadcasting airplane safety precautions, advertisements and some services. It also has a unique feature like Bluetooth, USB inlet, IR and a video camera. After a few minutes you hear a voice from the wall mount PC; broadcasting early recorded computer generated safety precautions, airline advertisements, a simple crew messages, tourist videos of your destination, GPS positions of the aircraft and other services. You are now mimicking when suddenly the Computer interrupted your watching, then you saw the computer generated steward asked you to choose and tap your food preferences on the small wireless LCD screen beside your bed.

A few minutes later some one is knocking at your door then you saw the stewardess on the small LCD screen with your food. After a 3 hours flight you are now in the Philippines because you board a super fast aircraft. We already have this kind of technology but currently manufacturers are patenting it and more tests are needed to be done before it can be release for public use.

I’m hoping that I amazed your mind about these innovations that waiting us in the near future.
