Every device merged with Internet provides easier accessibility in everyday life. With the emergence of cloud-based technology, everything is now synonymous and works seamlessly. And so, every complex and time-consuming task like making a car is now an effortless task as each machine fused with IoT can work together to design all components and compile without any error. IoT is now the most researched and talked about topic and the implementation is endless. But one part where there is room for more implementation of IoT is the aviation sector. In this modern world aviation is an integral part of human life. In this accelerated world travel is an essential part and thus is the main focus of several research. At any given moment there are roughly 7800 to 8800 commercial planes in the air and so the whole operation must be smooth and hassle-free.
