“…3 illustrates the main structural parts of a typical passenger aircraft with the major components and various compartments [2]. Most aircraft structures consist of a fuselage, an empennage, a powerplant, wings, and landing gears [28]. The fuselage is the centrally located main part including the cockpit, cabin, and cargo compartments.…”

“…The landing gear consists of wheels and struts to support the mobility on the ground. We remark that critical actuators of flight controls are mainly located in wings and tail section of aircraft, while the controlrelated sensors such as speed sensors are installed around nacelles and fuselage [24], [28].

“…A typical passenger aircraft between 150 to 220 seats is considered as the reference aircraft to analyze the requirements [2], [30]. The overall length of this typical passenger aircraft is between 31.5 and 44.5 m. Hence, the maximum range between transmitter and receiver is about 50 m. Some recent unmanned aircraft and military aircraft do not have cabin compartment and nacelles in contrast to the typical structure of the passenger aircraft [28]. However, they still have similar major components of Fig.…”

In the aeronautics industry, wireless avionics intracommunications have a tremendous potential to improve efficiency and flexibility while reducing the weight, fuel consumption, and maintenance costs over traditional wired avionics systems. This survey starts with an overview of the major benefits and opportunities in the deployment of wireless technologies for critical applications of an aircraft. The current state-of-art is presented in terms of system classifications based on data rate demands and transceiver installation locations. We then discuss major technical challenges in the design and realization of the envisioned aircraft applications. Although wireless avionics intra-communication has aspects and requirements similar to mission-critical applications of industrial automation, it also has specific issues such as complex structures, operations, and safety of the aircraft that make this area of research self-standing and challenging. To support the critical operations of an aircraft, existing wireless standards for mission-critical industrial applications are briefly discussed to investigate the applicability of the current solutions. Specifically, IEEE 802.15.4-based protocols and Bluetooth are discussed for low data rate applications, whereas IEEE 802.11based standards are considered for high data rate applications. Eventually, we propose fundamental schemes in terms of network architecture, protocol, and resource management to support the critical avionics applications and discuss the research directions in this emerging area.
