Input Output Devices in Aviation

Thesis: The application of new technology in Aerospace is the solution to an outdated but reliable radio frequency system used in most of the world nowadays. A standardization between all aviation agencies is critical for its development. Safety, as always is a concern in aviation, the implementation of new technology has to meet all the standards of flight safety. There are many benefits associated with communicating in other ways, amongst them are; more efficiency in routes, better airspace traffic, special request between pilot and ATC, position reporting as well as saving money and being more profitable in all aspects of aviation.
