A.I. and Satellite Technology to Smooth Out Bumpy Flights

New technology combining A.I., hyperlocal radar stations, and future satellites may help improve weather forecasts, leading to safer and smoother flights. With more passengers flying than ever before and intensifying weather events caused by climate change, airlines are investing in better weather prediction models to mitigate delays and turbulence. Tomorrow.io, a weather intelligence company, has received a $19 million grant from the U.S. Air Force to launch over 20 weather satellites that have the ability to detect disturbances earlier. In addition, WeatherSTEM is installing hyperlocal weather stations at airports to give accurate weather information to pilots and ground crews.
