Electronic Devices in Air Transport

Some of the aspects and implications of electronic devices used in air transport today, and those to be used in the immediate future, are treated in this paper. It is imperative for the groups interested in electronic navigation devices to exchange views with the groups interested in surveying, mapping, and charting, since navigation and charting are inseparably bound together. The development of the transportation and communications industries was made possible by the surveys, maps, and charts that preceded them. Conversely, those industries are placing increasing requirements on the mapping and charting industries to obtain more reliable charts and charts of extremely specialized natures.
