Aviation industry has come a long way from the first flight taken by the Wright brothers in early 19th century. There has been a constant evolution in the field of aviation with focus being laid on innovative techniques that can improve performance and the electronic capabilities of these beautiful men made birds. Latest trends in aviation technology is vast and huge which are discussed below.

Development of next generation military aircraft's that can fly automatically without requiring any human pilots. These aircraft's will be able to negotiate their way in the battle field by being controlled by the air traffic control rooms.

In civil aviation emphasis is again being laid on unmanned aerial vehicles that can be used in variety of fields like pollution monitoring, forestry, policing, and rescue operations and for conducting aerial investigations.

Soon we can see the launch of self flying shuttle services and air taxis which will ferry the growing number of air passengers efficiently. The talks are on for the developed of zero visibility corporate jets that can now make a landing without having the visibility of the runway.

The other technological advancements in aviation sector that appears to have been lifted from sci-fi movies include flying cars, blended wing bodied aircraft's, hypersonic flights and use of light aircraft building materials like nano tubes made of carbon.
