Watch a 48-minute conference talk from YOW! 2017 where Senior Software Engineer Tony Morris explores how functional programming can revolutionize aviation safety and efficiency. Dive into critical aviation challenges including navigation, collision avoidance, and weight/balance calculations while examining current industry practices. Learn about aviation safety regulations, aeronautical service delivery, and aircraft-ground coordination methods. Through live demonstrations, discover how software solutions using functional programming can address fundamental data management problems in aviation that currently pose safety risks. Experience practical examples using software defined radio to receive live ADS-B transmissions from aircraft, and see implementations of AHRS and GNSS receivers using affordable components interfaced through Haskell programming language. Gain insights into how modern programming approaches could help prevent aviation incidents and potentially save lives by improving upon traditional aeronautical calculation and navigation methods.
