Future passenger planes could use AI to eliminate turbulence and maintain a smooth in-flight experience

Jet airplane landing in storm.

Scientists have developed a technique that could mitigate the effects of turbulence on dynamic structures and vehicles, with a particular focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Turbulence is the name we give to changes in air pressure that cause aircraft to shake. This is most apparent when an aircraft judders as it passes through changes in air pressure mid-flight. This is unlike flying animals, which have evolved a natural ability to sense the changes in their surroundings that cause turbulence, and quickly adjust to maintain smooth flight.
