Recent inventions of Augmented Reality (AR) Head-Mounted-Device (HMD) devices such as Microsoft’s HoloLens have allowed certain innovations that up till now were only able to exist in Science Fiction. The ability to project holograms within a space have been used in the Aerospace industry since 2016, when the HoloLens was first released. However, the aviation industry has yet to harness the capability that such a device can allow. The conversion of a traditional 2D Primary Flight Display (PFD)to a Volumetric 3D representation of the PFD was explored. The 3D representation of the PFD was created in Unity 3D, and by means of the Holographic Remoting Tool the graphics were displayed on to the HoloLens. The symbology on the PFD was driven by live flight data from a flight simulator. For thisproject two different 3D PFD models were created one for a fixed-winged based aircraft, and another fora quadcopter. Two different flight simulators were used for the two different PFDs. For the fixed-wingedPFD the Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) World by Eagle Dynamics was used, and for the quadcopterPFD the AirSim plugin by Microsoft was ran using Unreal Engine 4 (UE4). Through testing it was found that both the PFD models assist the pilots to safely keep their aircraft in the air and also perform an emergency landing by only using the 3D PFD. Another conclusion made was that in its current state the3D PFD is ideal for Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) pilots as a holographic Ground Control Station(GCS)

There is an ever increasing demand and innovation worldwide in the area of materials research in aerospace industry. Research on materials is the focused area in aerospace sector because reducing aircraft/spacecraft weight and/or increasing the temperature capabilities is the key factor in increasing the performance. Hence there is always an urge on the development of advanced materials especially in the area of light weight, High temperature resistant materials. There are different ways of keeping abreast on current state of art on the development of advanced materials namely reading Journal publications, attending conferences/seminars or performing intellectual property (IP) analysis specifically looking at patents. Patent portfolio indicates the technology and research direction of a company. Intellectual property plays a key role in the present global competitive world. It is not only an asset for the company but also helps in increasing the bottom line of an organization. Hence, an attempt was made to look at the global patent scenario of materials used for aerospace industry. A high level scan of aerospace materials patent portfolio in the past 20 years was done to understand the current technology focus and trend of materials research. The study was restricted to Aerospace/Aviation Players. Four different types of Materials are considered for the study namely Light weight metals (includes Al and Ti alloys), Superalloys, High temperature coatings and Composites. A further deep dive analysis on the above materials has been done to understand the Industry focus on various technology areas such as Manufacturing, Inspection, Application etc. This analysis helps technologists in understanding the current state of art and research focus in Materials area specific to Aerospace/Aviation Industry

As the aviation industry moves from paper maps and charts to the digital cockpit and electronic flight bag, producers of these products need current and accurate data to ensure flight safety. FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) require certified suppliers to follow a defined protocol to produce authoritative map data for the aerodrome. Typical airport maps have been produced to meet 5 m accuracy requirements. The new digital aviation world is moving to 1 m accuracy maps to provide better situational awareness on the aerodrome. The commercial availability of 0.5 m satellite imagery combined with accurate ground control is enabling the production of avionics certified .85 m orthophotos of airports around the globe. CompassData maintains an archive of over 400+ airports as source data to support producers of 1 m certified Aerodrome Mapping Database (AMDB) critical to flight safety and automated situational awareness. CompassData is a DO200A certified supplier of authoritative orthoimagery and attendees will learn how to utilize current airport imagery to build digital aviation mapping products.

Safety enhancement is a major goal of the aviation industry owing to the predicted increase in air travel. There is also the need to prevent fatalities, increase reliability and reduce monetary costs suffered as a result of delays and accidents that still occur. Accidents today are complex as a result of many causal factors acting alone but more often as a combination with other contributing factors. In tackling this trend, proactive measures have been put in place to find hazardous combinations that occur during flights in order to mitigate them before accidents occur. Flight Anomaly Detection (AD) methods are aimed at highlighting abnormal occurrences of a flight, that are different from the norm. As an improvement on the current state-of-the-art method, previous works have proposed different AD techniques for detection of previously unknown flight risks such as component faults, aircraft operational inefficiencies and some abnormal crew behaviour. However, current AD methods individually have limitations that prevent them from detecting certain significant anomalies in flight data. This paper surveys current flight AD approaches, their strengths and limitations as well as brings to light the benefits of a hybrid AD method to extend previous work and find safety-critical events, particularly those related to abnormal crew activity: a class of events known to amount for a substantial number of accidents/incidents today. It also highlights another emerging AD application opportunity, its challenges and how AD is beneficial in addressing them.

The article presents the results of the review and evaluation of the dynamics of economic effects from business financial policies based on the developed scientific methodological approach. A comprehensive assessment of the economic performance dynamics as an outcome of financial policy has been carried out according to the sustainability and turnover criteria for selected enterprises: SE «Antonov», LLC «Kyivaeroproekt», SE «Konotop Aircraft Repair Plant «Aviacon», SE «Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant», SE «Kharkiv Machine-Building Plant (FED)» and PJSC «Motor Sich». The study employed integrated indicators subject to priorly defined criteria aimed at determining the deviation of the total value of the regulatory and optimizing financial tools efficiency that will enable to assessing the degree of enterprise enhancement. To evaluate the financial policy effectiveness, a methodological approach has been suggested based on the use of a hierarchical model and integrated indicator which includes basic indicators, in particular, the dynamics indicators as to the financial policy objects. The findings have revealed the objects of financial policy that need direct actions to improve the position of aviation enterprises by the criteria of sustainability and turnover. The study has also identified the key objects that urge critical changes and enhancing financial tools to manage stocks, financial assets, receivables, investments, loans, etc. Emphasis is placed on the optimization strategy and the need to build an effective depreciation policy. It is argued that the proposed methodological approach to evaluating the economic effects of the financial policy in the aviation industry will contribute to assessing its current state and adjusting the decision-making policy, as well as to modernizing the management framework and its economic effects on financial processes to boost innovation driven enterprise development.
