At Aerospace Tech Week, Nicole White, Vice President, Business Development – Connected Aviation Solutions, Collins Aerospace, joined to discuss the connectivity landscape, looking at emerging technologies, challenges, and reaching the “eutopia state” of travel.
The conversation emphasised the current fragmentation of the connectivity ecosystem, highlighting the urgent need to integrate solutions. Additionally, White characterised the digital side of the landscape as still in its infancy, with enormous untapped potential in the data being generated. Explaining the work that still needs to be done here, White said:
“I would say we have the tools, it’s more about how you are processing the data, what insights you’re getting from the data, and then ultimately what decisions it is driving. So when I think about what we’re doing at Collins, we’re really looking at it from three lenses: you’ve got a sustainability element, a passenger experience element, and then ultimately the performance element.”
The conversation also looked at the challenges obstructing the industry from leveraging existing technology to its full potential. Watch the full interview now to learn more about how integrating disparate data systems will enhance the connected ecosystem, and more.
