Abstract
This chapter draws the readers into a comprehensive discussion about the advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their influence on the technology landscape of aeronautics. It gives a rough overview of the advances in technical systems from the industrial revolution up until Industry 4.0 and elaborates the reflection of these advancements in aeronautics from the pioneers era toward Flight 4.0. It briefly describes various recent fields of research in ICT such as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT) , wireless networks, multi-core architectures, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), cloud computing, big data, and modern software engineering methodologies as the parts of future aeronautical engineering body of knowledge. Thereafter, it describes aeronautical informatics as an establishing interdisciplinary field of study of applied informatics and aeronautics.
