Abstract

This paper presents the application of automation techniques in different areas of aerospace industry such as; 4D printing prospects, automated aircraft tracking, laser marking, automated fiber placement, acoustic emission detection, analysis of the aircraft carrier for landing task, flexible and automated production, function allocation between automation and human pilot, automated selection and assembly, autonomous control reconfiguration, sensor monitoring during the process. In this study, we have explored the existing automation techniques and also find out a better way to implement in the future to minimize the human efforts and time. These technologies based on automation and artificial intelligence that will help us to make the process more efficient, stable and flexible. Moreover, aspects of the changeability and adaptiveness of the automation system have to be considered. The aim of this study to identify the opportunities and scope for future research trends in the field of aerospace industries.
