Market Overview:
The global in-flight autopilot systems market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The increasing demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and commercial aircraft is one of the major factors driving the growth of this market. Additionally, the increasing adoption of autopilot systems by military organizations for various applications such as reconnaissance, target acquisition, and battle damage assessment is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, high installation and maintenance costs are restraining the growth of this market. On basis on type, flight director system held a dominant position in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance during forecast period owing to its ability to provide accurate guidance signals under all weather conditions.
Product Definition:
An autopilot is a system used to control the flight path of an aircraft without constant input from the pilot. An in-flight autopilot system augments the existing manual controls of an aircraft to provide automatic stability and guidance, allowing pilots to relax or take a break during long flights. Autopilots are especially important on large commercial jets, where they can handle routine tasks such as maintaining altitude and course while pilots attend to other duties. In-flight autopilot systems can also be used for more advanced maneuvers, such as landing or takeoff.
Flight Director System:
The flight director system is a device that provides visual and audible alerts to the pilot during critical phases of flight. It helps in maintaining proper track of the aircraft with reference to its direction, position, and altitude. The primary function of a flight director system is to ensure that the aircraft follows a predefined path along with maintaining correct airspeed and appropriate heading at all times.
Attitude and Heading Reference System:
The global Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) and it's usage in In-Flight Autopilot Systems market size was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2015. The AHRS is a gyroscope-based system that provides attitude, heading, and roll information to the flight control system. It uses accelerometers for measuring pitch, yaw, and roll motion of an aircraft to determine the orientation of an airplane with respect to its axes.
Application Insights:
The flight director system was the most popular application of in-flight autopilot systems and accounted for a revenue share of over 40% in 2017. The major advantage of using a flight director system is that it provides accurate navigation, which helps pilots fly the aircraft with greater precision. Furthermore, these systems provide enhanced situational awareness to pilots by providing alerts when critical aircraft parameters are out of limits. These types of systems are installed on large commercial airliners where precise navigation and maneuvering are required during training or actual mission execution.
Flight control system is expected to be the fastest growing segment owing to its increased use on narrow-body aircraft as compared to wide-body jetliners or business aviation fleet. Flight control system includes everything from simple proportional controllers that require little or no pilot intervention during normal operations up till highly automated mode flown only by computerized command without human input (supervised mode).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global in-flight autopilot systems market in 2016 with a revenue share of over 40%. The region is expected to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period owing to early adoption of such advanced technologies. Europe accounted for a significant revenue share in 2016 and is expected to grow at an exponential CAGR from 2017 to 2030 due to increasing demand for passenger comfort and safety coupled with rising need for automation. Asia Pacific regional market captured significant growth opportunities, especially with respect high growth rate of major economies such as China, India, Japan, South Korea and others.
The key players operating in this industry are Thales Group; Rockwell Collins; Honeywell International Inc.; Airbus S.A.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for air travel: The In-Flight Autopilot Systems market is expected to grow as the demand for air travel increases. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), global passenger traffic is expected to grow by an average of 4.4% per year over the next 20 years, reaching 7.8 billion passengers by 2036. This will create opportunities for In-Flight Autopilot Systems manufacturers and suppliers.
- Technological advancements: The In-Flight Autopilot Systems market is expected to benefit from technological advancements that improve safety and efficiency in aircraft operations. For example, autopilot systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with features such as automatic landing and takeoff capabilities becoming more common in commercial aircrafts.
