Airships were supposed to be the way of the future, not aircraft. Experts believed the aviation industry would die because of environmental concerns and falling passenger numbers.
But despite these concerns it has collapsed not. In some sectors, business and leisure travel are booming.
New generations of aircraft like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus a380 are far more efficient than older aircraft#70%more fuel efficient than aircraft of 40 years ago, according to the International air transport association (IATA.
Air traffic control and airport management will also be revolutionised as digital technology makes aircraft easier to manage.
#but automated air traffic could double the capacity of the flight paths around the world and only airport capacity would constrain us.
British aerospace flew an aircraft remotely to Inverness in Scotland this summer in a Civil aviation Authority-supported experiment.

but the fuels they use are still polluting hydrocarbons which come out of the ground. Butanol can be produced by bacteria in biomass
The US, for instance, currently has some of the most antiquated air traffic management in the developed world
as a result of Congress failing to back reforms proposed by the Federal Aviation Authority#after a very famous air traffic controllers strike more than 25 years ago.#
New forms of air traffic management, using digitised TV and mobile signals bounced off aircraft will replace the 1940s-era radar system still in use by#air traffic control,
and allow planes to land more efficiently, using less fuel in the process. Although no air traffic system is using such signals at the moment,
Air traffic control systems are being interfered with, both offshore and across moors and hills. The movement of the turbine blades creates, essentially,
this could cause problems for existing flight paths. As the need for wind power increases, a solution will have to be found.

One of the most recent examples of this is from EV charging solutions provider Aerovironment who has announced a compact new portable charger that is dual voltage that reportedly offers faster charging times compared to the standard cordsets found with most EVS these days.
The Aerovironment Turbocord according to the company behind it offers both 240-volt/16-amperage and 120-volt charging options that allow it to charge nearly three times faster meaning less than three hours for plug-in hybrids and less than six hours for full battery electrics.

Now Airware, founded by MIT alumnus Jonathan Downey 6, has developed a platform hardware, software, and cloud services that lets manufacturers pick
The key component is the startup Linux-based autopilot device, a small red box that is installed into all of a client drones. his is responsible for flying the vehicle in a safe, reliable manner,
and display that info to a user, says Downey, Airware CEO, who researched and built drones throughout his time at MIT.
Airware then pushes all data to the cloud, where it aggregated and analyzed, and available to designated users.
Clients have trialed Airware platform over the past year including researchers at MIT, who are demonstrating delivery of vaccines in Africa.
Airware plans to launch the platform for general adoption later this year, viewing companies that monitor crops
A company from scratch Airware roots date to 2005, when Downey, who studied electrical engineering and computer science, organized an MIT student team including Airware chief technology officer, Buddy Michini 7, SM 9,

A five-year stretch at Boeing as an engineer for the U s. military A160 Hummingbird UAV and as a commercial pilot put Downey in contact with drone manufacturers, who,
were still using black boxes or open-source designs. hey were basically facing the same challenges we faced as undergrads at MIT,
Thus Airware was born in 2010 first run only by Downey, then with Michini and a team of Boeing engineers to make a military-grade lack boxsystem,
but whose capabilities could be tweaked and extended. Early prototypes were trialed by How group at MIT,
before Airware entered two California incubators, Lemnos Labs and Y-Combinator, in 2013. Since then, theye raised $40 million from investors and expanded their team from five to more than 50 employees. he last 18 months has been a rapid rise,
Not much of the early MIT drone designs made it into the final Airware platform. ut building that early drone at MIT
