NASA Demos ATC-Aircraft Ground Wi-Fi Datalink
Technology provides flight crews with common-sourced aeronautical, weather and flight information while on the ground at an airport.
In cooperation with the FAA and Hitachi, engineers at NASA’s Glenn Research Center successfully transmitted route options, weather information and other data to an FAA Bombardier Global 5000 testbed via a Wi-Fi communication system for aircraft on the ground. (Photo: NASA)
