The idea of an Airborne Internet was began as a supporting technology for NASA's Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS). Program planners identified the need to establish a robust communications channel between aircraft and the ground network. But the utility of Airborne Internet has the potential to extend beyond the SATS program....It could open up a whole new set of operating capabilities, safety and efficiency for tomorrow's aviation industry....and beyond !
