While COVID-19 has devastating effects on aviation, several recent studies have highlighted the potential of the pandemic-induced break for rethinking air transportation, hopefully orchestrating changes towards the construction of a more pandemic-resilient aviation system. Here, pandemic-resilient means that aviation stakeholders can sustain the impact of an epidemic or pandemic outbreak through a more informed reallocation of their resources and more collaborative decision making, while being able to minimize the impacts of external events. Our study contributes to the literature by discussing the challenges associated with technological innovation and education of aviation professionals, on the way towards pandemic-resilient aviation. We discuss issues surrounding technologies for smarter aircraft, smarter airports, and smarter airlines. While technology ensures long-term competitiveness and sustainability, an often-ignored source of challenges are human resources and education. COVID-19 has uncovered and magnified the effects of severe concerns with the current aviation education system, which need to be solved by extended skill sets, modern technology, and better career perspectives. Without properly addressing these technological and educational challenges, the aviation industry likely misses an distinct opportunity for restructuring towards pandemic-resilient aviation.

An approach to the representation and documentation of craft processes is proposed. The proposed approach is a method for the systematic identification and digital representation of pertinent data, information, and knowledge. The outcome representation is compatible with contemporary digitisation practices and digital preservation standards. The implementation of the approach is provided within the context of an online platform that is accompanied by auxiliary tools for digital curation. This platform is a multiple user system, where craft representations can be collaboratively authored, shared, displayed, and digitally preserved in standardised formats. Basic uses of this scheme and presentational applications are provided, along with identification of future work and limitations.

“…Szajna et al proposed an AR-assisted manual wiring production method [6]. Boeing engineers and technicians can use AR glasses to query information about aircraft parts, quickly locate faults, and view maintenance procedures [7]. However, there are still some serious obstacles to achieving efficiency in assembly problems which have not been solved.…”

The assembly and maintenance of products in the aviation industry constitute a crucial aspect of the product life cycle, with numerous tasks still reliant on manual operations. In order to solve the problem of narrow operation spaces and blind areas in the processes of manual assembly and maintenance, we proposed an augmented reality (AR) assistant guidance method specifically designed for such scenarios. By employing a multi-modality anti-occlusion tracking algorithm, pose data of assembly parts can be obtained, upon which AR guidance information is displayed. Additionally, we proposed an assembly step identification method to alleviate user interaction pressure. We developed an AR visualization assistant guidance system and designed and conducted a user evaluation experiment to measure the learnability, usability, and mental effort required. The results demonstrate that our method significantly enhances training efficiency by 128.77%, as well as improving assembly and maintenance efficiency by 29.53% and 27.27% compared with traditional methods. Moreover, it has significant advantages in learnability, usability, and mental effort, providing a feasible and effective resolution for addressing blind areas during assembly and maintenance within the aviation industry.
