Making flying safer

Technology is applied to new avionics and ground-based systems to make air operations-military as well as civil-far safer than ever before.

The digital revolution has brought about extraordinary advances in the science of aviation, but the single most important factor-safety-is still at the core of flying, whether applied to the manufacture and certification of airplanes and their many systems and components, or within the aviation infrastructure that includes air-traffic management, navigation, airport operations, and training.
