Future Perspectives on Aviation Safety: 21st Century Change Impacts
Keywords:
Aviation Safety, 21st Century Changes, Aviation Technology, Sustainable Development, Climate ChangeAbstract
This paper examines future aviation safety trends impacted by 21st century changes, analyzing four major areas (1) Science and technology, covering developments in avionics, cloud technology, unmanned aircraft, and vertical take-off and landing aircraft (2) Economic and social aspects, focusing on sustainable development goals set by the United Nations (3) Lifestyle and working conditions, reflecting increasing pressure and stress in the aviation industry and (4) Environmental factors, addressing impacts of global warming and climate change. The paper also presents policy and practical recommendations for addressing these changes.
