There’s little doubt that emerging technologies are reshaping the future of aviation.
Those technologies include robotics, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, unmanned aircraft systems and the push for hybrid and electric airplanes.
The vast investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data could be seen as a promising way of increasing safety, efficiency and sustainability. These technologies can help improve aviation infrastructure and airspace utilization.
Additionally, alternative fuels can significantly change the current scenario of aviation in support of the environmental protection.
Biometrics also has a role to play in aviation.
Biometric technology, such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, can revolutionize airport security protocols and streamline the boarding process significantly.
There’s even something called palm vein recognition – another innovative biometric technology that is increasingly used in airport security and passenger processing.
For example, Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, has implemented a biometric-enabled self-service system known as “Smart Travel,” which uses palm vein scanning as a key component. The palm vein recognition system verifies the passenger’s identity, allowing them to proceed through all stages without needing physical documents or manual checks.
