Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess and determine the potential of augmented reality (AR) in aerospace applications through a survey of published sources.Design/methodology/approach: This paper reviews a database of AR applications developed for the aerospace sector in academic research or industrial training and operations. The review process begins with the classification of these applications, followed by a brief discussion on the implications of AR technology in each category.Findings: AR is abundantly applied in engineering, navigation, training and simulation. There is potential for application in in-flight entertainment and communication, crew support and airport operations monitoring.Originality/value: This paper is a general review introducing existing and potential AR applications in various fields of the aerospace industry. Unlike previous publications, this article summarizes existing and emerging applications to familiarize readers with AR use in all of aerospace. The paper outlines example projects and creates a single comprehensive reference of AR advancements and its use in the aerospace industry. The paper provides individuals with a quick guide to available and emerging technology.Keywords
